Thank you, Akul.
I have a closer shot too, but decided to post the wider one.

Morfeus - Nice texture and perspective of marble columns. Mother of all greek columns

Morfeus - that 'watch cat' on the first shot looks pretty mean. Wonderful detail!
Toothwalker - Second and third shot are really powerful. Tortured trees! Third shot is sad and quite beautiful. On the first shot, tree in the distance has blue cast on half of the tree. Is that coming from snow ?

Takk. The blue cast is smoke from the fire. I noticed it, but could not avoid it. Not with this composition.

I love the water movement and foreground interest in this one.

Morfeus - I must say I love those images. Still life is great and strange. Context is very smart.
johnahill - That is a wonderful shot. I really like the way how the front building is lit and separating itself from the rest.

Thank you so much, Akul. I also like your work very much. The tree image has great depth!

@akul: You've got to try that first shot stopped down a bit (f/4-5.6) some time. I've found that the 28/2.8 can have quite a nice stopped down bokeh, which looks much more uniform and not nervous like the WO bokeh can be.

Morfeus - Thanks
AhamB- Thank you very much for your input. You got me interested in trying out how Bokeh behaves with this lens more.
ZoneV - The #2 shot present great detail. I like the B/W conversion for these shots.
kop.cppua- Your IR shots are great. Rice field is quite beautiful.

AhamB's comment on CY28's bokeh got me interested, so I did a pseudo test.
At f2.8
At somewhere between f4 - 5.6
This subject did not have enough busyness, randomness, and contrast in the back ground, like brightly lit foliage, so the result is a bit subtle to show 'nervousness' of bokeh at f2.8. By the way, I have not been offended by 2.8 bokeh, however the transition to OOF with f4-5.6 is clearly much smoother. Good thing to remember next time I am out in the woods, and compelled to do tree portrait, which I like to do a lot.

After looking through my shots again, I must have remembered it incorrectly what I said about stopping down to improve the bokeh of the 28/2.8. You can try it, but you may get hexagons pretty quickly in situations with discrete highlights.
This is a shot where I liked the bokeh, but it must have been shot wide open:

@Tri Tan: Very nice. Did you try correcting the (obvious) CA?
