I love the bokeh in the second photo - it is beautiful!

Great photo of the turtle too!

Thanks

Getting used to my 14-54, before I could only play a bit here and there during the winter.

Summer, it really shines!

Very nice! I love the water drops on the last one. They came out extremely clear.

And by George you did it. These captures are so good and the detail in all of them is so clear and sharp. The colours in the first one are so vivid. The bokeh in the second is gorgeous and the last one, the contrast of the colours is excellent. This is great work Kodiak. You didn't just do it my friend, you nailed it.

Jake.

Great series of images one better than the next. I like the second one the best.

The turtle is quite cute, and your final flower is stunning - really it is. Personal taste draws me away from the 2nd picture - I feel the flower gets lost among the rest of the green. Would love to see the same one in bloom.

Regardless, a delight, and thanks for sharing. ^_^
