Very nice John/Activefx! So glad you are enjoying it.
I think I am favoring your new collection of the Burnside shots. I like the added contrast and reduced distortion, along with the very smooth transition to OOF areas on the sides. Seems like an excellent complement to your VC 35 and 50 lenses.
Always happy to see your new work!Thank you very much for always being so kind and encouraging.
Not sure if you mean compared to my previous Burnside sets or photos from my other Lensbabies, but I assume the latter. Yes, the less dramatic soft edges work well for some shots. I love my Sweet 50, but the stretched out blur can be a bit distracting sometimes.
Btw., Burnside 35 is a Petzval lens design, according to Lensbaby the widest ever made, so it'll have swirl when the conditions are right. It has been hard to find suitable subjects during winter...Show more →
Lots of choices for you! I like the Russian Monocle too. So you have a nice selection of effects at your disposal.

National Geographic quality !
Lawrence, thank you very much for your flattering words!

I just made it back very late last night, or shall we say, early morning today from a trip to Costa Rica. I got exposed to quite a few different species of birds and others while there. Several mosquitos managed to suck my blood but besides that it was a pleasant and fruitful trip...
The internet connection at the first two lodges was good and I did post a few images from there but it was really bad at the last lodge. Although I could log on a few times but since this thread is image heavy, most of the time, I couldn't even see the images, let alone upload mine. So, I did not bother doing that anymore. It certainly looks like I missed a few pages of great images and I managed to skip a few "likes" of spectacular images. No, it wasn't done intentionally; sorry.
Here is an image from that trip at a higher elevation of Costa Rica...

The A7R3 & a few small primes were perfect for casual shots on a family trip to Disney World. Performed in any scenario I threw at it, while remaining small/light enough to not interfere with the trip. I definitely didn't envy all the people I saw with big glass and DSLR's.

Wow! A guy can't even take of a couple days to pack and drive 1060 miles, without the thread being flooded with amazing images! 
Joshua -- What a great shot!! Anxious for more CR images and your thoughts.
Ronny -- Just amazing! You continue to pull rabbits from your hat.
**************
While up in Washington state, I can't help but think of my Scandinavian friends on FM: Ronny, Helena, Samuli, and many others. I grew up with a lot of your distant relations who settled here for the lumber, fishing and farming. The countryside and towns here bear some resemblance too these much colder climes, but I feel a kinship with you Northern Europeans.
Here's a two shot pano shot wide open with Canon 24-70/2.8L II. Obviously, DOF won't cover, but overall very nice sharpness on plane of focus and terrific color (IMO).

one lens and one adaptor that I own will not fit due to black plastic frame on the Techart. Anyone tried removing the black plastic frame and using only the silver metal part? thank u

A few more from my Tanzania trip.
Chez--
These are really beautiful photographs! Through what process or institution were you there helping, if I may ask (if you'd prefer not discuss your personal life, that is totally fine, obviously). It is a striking and unusual thing for someone to do.
I love the photographs as they are. They are classically composed and stately, and the colors are gorgeous. But I also wonder what they would be like in b&w. It would be interesting to see a couple in monochrome, if you are willing.

Have to agree with you, Birdie! That’s a killer background with my kind of color vibrancy!

After spending 3 weeks in the middle of Tanzania traveling from village to village and visiting orphanages and remote schools, I spent a few days on Zanzibar, both in Stone Town and in a resort on the beach. Here are a few pics from Stone Town...a great place to wander around early in the day and late in the evening...very harsh sun during midday.

Ronny, thank you and thank you for sharing images from Iceland. They make me want to go back to visit Iceland again.
And that portrait of that girl..... man, superb!

Thank you very much, Bobby! Yes, and that after I toned down the saturation level....

Here is another image, although not as colorful as the previous one I posted but it showed the closeness between a mother sloth and her baby. I am not big on sloths but I do like the tenderness of this one and the baby's expression is priceless. We discovered the two along the way to go from one lodge to the next. Our driver/guide, Juan, stopped, turned around the car. We could witness and photograph the two, while they were sleeping. Yes, they are nocturnal creatures.
Both the A9 and GM 100-400mm delivered in spades on this trip. This was a handheld shot since the tripod was stowed away while on transfer. The OSS and IBIS helped to get tack sharp images at this fairly slow shutter speed. I started out with a high ISO setting and faster shutter speed and gradually, lowered the ISO setting after I got the "insurance" images.
