Excellent work, Colin. Well composed and buttery smooth bokeh that isolates the subject. I like the toning too. :-)

"What a Stunna!", as someone once said.
Apart from the sight of an amazing Hydrangea, so different to the fat little madams we get, your treatment is so remarkable.
The velvety tones and the lovely darks are simply beautiful.
