Taken with a 40yr old lens. Vivitar (Komine) 200mm f/3.5 prime.. A manual focus lens from the film era..I think it will make a good portrait lens...Only cost £25 and it looks new...R.

Sharp focus on the blooms and leaves - Colours and bokeh very good too. The lens seems to be a good one.

I think you have a winner with the lens Count B. Well snapped.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Excellent capture. Dont think I have seen those around here. I like the spots inside the blooms. Vivitar 200mm? Good grief, I think I still have one of those. Wonder if it will work on my Canon 7D?

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
