Pink swans !

Was doing some practicing today with a Sigma f1.8 28mm macro lens.
The effects you can get are wonderful. Assuming you like this type of shot that is.
I just love the way the background is so softly out of focus.
I didn't do any editing apart from cropping the size.
It is a very dull windy and overcast day but the lens is so fast that you can still get some wonderful colors.
For the technically minded I set the camera white balance at cloudy and the color balance at sharpness +2 and vibrancy +1 and increased the f stop by + 1/3.
For those of us not technically minded just ignore the previous yakking by moi and enjoy the photograph.....

ps I think the flowers look like pink swans, but there again I used to wear tie-dyed T shirts in the 60s and thought a 6 hour Grateful Dead concert was cool ......
