Nicely taken. Back to the drawing board for me...

Made me smile too.

Funny. Nicely tmedrwith the comedy wildlife awards this week.

Very crisp. Great contrast with the green.

Jealous...

Who knew what you started with this advice? Which turned out to be excellent by the way, the 35-70 has easily become my favourite lens. Which kind of contradicts what I said above about collecting the MCII range. Except that they didn't make Zooms in the MCII barrel - only MC-X (or MCIII) ;)

But after neraly three years of haphazardly buying whatever Minolta lens took my fancy, I've decided to focus (pun intended) on the MCII lenses. Known as Hills and Valleys because of the grips. Here's the current MCII line-up. 28/3.5 W.ROKKOR-SG 28/2.5 W.ROKKOR-SI 35/2.8 W.ROKKOR-HG 58/1.2...

I think you’re being hard on yourself. I like the idea behind it. I prefer the one where the paper is slightly yellowed.

That portrait is freaky - in a good way. Water droplet is well captured.

Week 39 - WATER DROPLETS Monument of Belgium's Gratitude by Kell, on Flickr

Week 39: Water droplets. Been trying all week at the same location (Victoria Embankment Gardens), but it's been really dull, flat light. Lucked out this morning with a bit of sun. First two with the lens from my self-portrait. And the close up from a new (to me) Minolta MCII 200/3.5...

Thanks all. Struggling this week.
