Here's a shot of some Lotus corniculatus from my newly acquired Contax Zeiss 25/2.8 MMJ with SB. I haven't quite figured out how the field curvature behaves with this combination, it sometimes seems to have a mind of it's own. It's perhaps not the ultimate flower lens with it's somewhat nervous bokeh at close distance, but I liked the effect for this shot:
Great work, Partitura, which does justice to this great lens. I love your first shot in particular, though I would consider cropping just a bit to the left the eliminate the partial view of a person's back.

Thanks so much, Philippe. And you are absolutely right about the crop.

What wonderfull light, Briantho!
Thank you, the weather was very dynamic when I got home from work today, so I went out to take some snaps. It looks like HDR, but it isn't, it's just a grad filter and PP.
These three are all with the Sony 10-18 zoom. The image stabilization really does help my hands in low light and in places where they really don't want you to haul out a tripod.
