Hi Lee :
) Still have no idea on how to find stuff on this site :( but worked out how to find you. Love this image mate. The light coming through the petals is what makes this pic work so well. Very pretty bokeh too….and I was of the understanding that this lens was a problem for you. I don’t think so :-)sarahnewton
