Wandered around today with the 85mm at 1.2 and at times the 80-200mm at 2.8. Warning some of these are very abstract

1 and 2 for me. 1.2 makes for some delicious depth of field. - Paul

I really like the DOF and bokeh of the first two, the warm colours are great too. I just feel, if you had gone in a bit closer to just one branch or leaf (even closer than in 4 and 5) the compositions would be stronger and the images less busy.

1,3, and 4 for me. I like these shots and love Japanese maples. Maybe try to get a shot with a more contrasty background color for those shots with great bokeh.

Very cool set. I like the shapes of the leaves. 1,2,3 are my favorites. I like the lone red leaf in #3.
