Went out to the large pond down the street where I live, early this morning. No butterflies nor dragonflies, but a couple of damselflies all "frozen" in the cold morning air.
I would welcome some constructive critique on this one. I've just bought a new Pentax 35mm f2.4 lens and this (a bed of the rose 'Royal William') was the first pic I've taken with and I'm a tad disappointed with it personally.
For those who may be interested, this is what I call a street lens,,,ie keep the camera set to auto and use it in much the same way as the old 35mm film cameras.

Flowers are in alphabetical order , and, as you scroll down, the magnification increases. The detail is stunning.

Hi all,
