Default Umbrella in color
I have snap this little fellow in local forest with my new Zeiss lens and would appreciate any critique.
I have to admit that being a prime lens with manual focus is some of the challenge, but i hope that in time i may master use of this nice looking lens.
Umbrella

Camera: Nikon D3
Lens: Zeiss Distagon T* 35 mm f/2
Date: 3-06-2009
Exposure: 1/100 sec at f/1.4
Focal length 85 mm
ISO: 200
No flash

The funny thing is that after setting my camera on manual and selecting f/2 on the lens, camera recorded this as f/1.4 ?
If any one can possibly explain this i would appreciate.

Very nice work !
Colors are vivid and I like the hints of purple in the background.
Looks like something from a fairy tale
Not sure about the recorded aperture being different.
Hopefully someone else more knowledgeable on the subject can help.
