Lilac and lemon and dreamy, creamy bokeh

Continuing  experimenting with the 56 mm ....

 This is a new Perennial addition to my  garden this year ... Thalictrum Ankum.   On 6 ft stems  these tiny round buds open into the most delicate of flowers ...

It has a very different feel to it when converted  to a monotone ...

...……  but it still works in a different way.  Another nice composition Click.  You're using that lens well but more importantly, you're choosing the backgrounds to best effect.

It certainly makes me move around  to ensure  I get the colours in the background right .. it has a big influence on the subject matter .  Thanks  for the comment John ..   interestingly  I hoped the  latter version  would  give the opposite feel to the summer vibrancy of the coloured one ... and it seems to work as it seems to depict a  misty, damp and slightly apprehensive atmosphere .

Now that is a colour photograph - absolutely first class.

I can only assume it was the fourth gin & tonic that tempted you to give it a mono treatment.

Teehee ... It was just to make a point  ...    and I only had  three  glasses M’lud ...  but hubby always makes doubles and I’m really taken with a new Gin I have found that is superb   called Cruxland from South Africa ...    only found in Morri*ons...  nearly as good as a Bedale’s Mason’s  stuff ...

Great image, doesn't need the pink drop shadow. Subjective and just MO, hope you don't mind me saying it.

Thanks for that ... and for the guidance when you recommended this  lens to  me when I embarked on my Fuji X -T2 adventure ....  it is a wonderful piece of glass Beepy as you rightly said ... I am loving it ...

Thanks Chris ...  I have to admit that happened by mistake as I  just adjusted the hue a bit after  I ‘d finished  the processing and the usual  pale grey drop shadow was in place ...and of course it  affected that .  It was very late .... about 3 am  ..  so I’ll change it today ...  Hey.  Opinions are important ...   we all have them. So appreciate you mentioning it ...

The colour version for me!
