Well I did the task, I'm not sure which I like best but feel OK that handheld at 1/8 isn't impossible if not ideal. VR was on.auto ISO was on 50mm focal length
It's a pleasant time playing with the camera, isn't it? I think I like the middle one best because I simply like more blurred background when the focus is on a single object. I like your choice of colours.
Nice colours too!
