Boy, have you all been busy! And a couple of new names too!
Just a few favorites of mine, too many good stuff here to do you all justice!
Malkovic: love that first one, great transition from light to dark and placement of the subject in there.
Bob, great night shots! (the closer to the water the better I like 'em).
mortyb: wonderfull snow photographs, #1 is my favourite.
Hugo: your images are just magnificent, doesn't seem like the Madeira we visited years ago! (got to fire up ye olde slide projector once more, as 't was in yonder years of film that we were there). You should publish your work in a book!
Ruben: love the last of the 2nd series and the guardrail of the 1st series
Akul: love the shadows, the fruitsalad-in-the-snow and the seagull.
Mshi: wonderfull reflection, great in B&W for the cold winter feeling.
Fracas: mysterious "behind the scene", well done!
Dalmas, you have great eye for lines&curves (last one).
Here are a couple of ZE21, all on crop (Canon 550D). I'm very pleased with this lens (and probably will be once again when FF enters my life):
Michael - As people always say whether one likes bokeh style of certain lens or not is really subjective. I don't even feel my reaction to bokeh is ever consistent.
Hugo - 'storm' is my favorite. Crop is also very effective.
mortyb - Lovely texture of snow covered pine. Love the way how in focus area is very sharp and the rest dissolves. #1 is my fav.
Bob - great night shots. They all show your signature all over them. Great work. My favorite are #1 and #3. Low point of view on the #3 is very effective.
Malkovic - Really lovely flower shots. Beautiful use of bokeh. They are somehow 'dramatic', stirring up feelings.
karelg - Thanks for your comment. Great to see your photos again on this thread. It feels like it has been a while. Great use of 21. Love the dynamic composition of #2, and beautiful sun set of #4. However, #3 just speaks to me very strong. Love the OOF back ground.
Haven't posted in this thread in quite a while. I've enjoyed catching up, and I still have like 100 pages more to get through! Lots of great work from everyone.
karelg - Nice shots. I like the #3, brick coping with gass growing on it. Nice play with focus.
1banger - amazing color from the cave.
Dalmas - Wonderful example with 50 planar. Frozen beach shot, is quite stunning, strong view point. #2, however is my most favoritel with the vertical composition.
johnahill - Gray weather is depressing, but sometimes helps with low contrast difused light for certain subjects. I wonder how the first boat shot may look B/W.
tben - Welcome to the forum. Good luck with your 50 planar. I like the #2. No snow in Norway, and too much In NY, strange. Anyway, looking forward to see more photos!
bpark42 - I like the composition of #1 very much.
Michael - Brilliant set. I especially like the way how #3 and #4 are connected. Very cool.
Ruben - nice portraits. What I really like is the #1 from the previous set, the white road barrier. Really nice composition and color. Great shot.
morpheus2891- Beautiful stars and skies. #1 is my favorite. Very interesting lighting effect on the last one.
bpark42 - Square crop definitely works on that shot. Beautiful icicle. Love the composition. White door behind ice just adds the feeling of freezing temperature. Wonderful shot.
Dalmas - Another Square crops that are working great. Great eyes on composing with the pattern on snow + people. Sense of time and change between #1 abd #3 relly adds strong continunity and sort of drama to the set. Ice break pattern on #2 is just mind boggling.
Akul; lovely set, with N°4 a standout IMHO. Brilliant drama in what would be otherwise (if I shot it, for example) soooo boring.
Alkanphel, congratulations on your new lens. Your 3, 4 and 5 are the ones that inspire me most, not that the others are bad, either.
Bob, your 1 and 4 are only excellent. 2 and 3 are jaw-dropping. And I should know, having hundreds of dark church shots to my debit, when those are to your credit...

Philippe, I like your last one best. Lots of detail there! Thank you Philippe for your kind words. I was like a kid in a candy shop in that cathedral. Here's a few more:
