So I went to Kew for the day with my new [well 2nd hand] toy, f2.8 70-200mm USM L non-IS.

1: White Lilly

2: Purple Waterlilly

3: Bird of Paradise

4: An Orchid - Tonemapped - only tonemapped to really show the water droplets

5: A Bee

6: Parrots at Kew

all in all, a nice collection but the contrast is a little flat - is your monitor calibrated?

Good photos. My favourite is the water droplet on the orchid. Water Lily next.

You are going to LOVE that lens......... Very Happy

Seems like you already have had some fun.... I like the tight DoF flower shots near the beginning of your set.
