New Lens

My Christmas present - a new lens [Canon 70-200mm f4] - arrived today. So, of course, I had to try it out. Stephomy @stephomy is my get-pushed partner this week and her challenge was: "...do an image with a very narrow depth of field. ..." And I took this photo walking in the woods on my way to the Post Office.
nice photo

Stephomy @stephomy oes this meet your approval? I will try one later in the week where both the foreground and background are (hopefully) out of focus.

I love this! The depth of field is just fantastic!

I like the way this one turned out. It seems like the background even has a bit of bokeh in it.
