Your photos have been lovely lately Ruth....your DOF is perfect & the little ladybird stands out so well. I am not happy with my photos at all at the moment. Got all ready for the show but have no hope for any of them. I found last years this morning & they are far better but not a lot of success then either....don't hold your breath! It might help if I kept my lens cleaner....Branson was horrified when he saw it last weekend! Your new lens is doing well.
