Got my 85mm 1.8 in today. Here's a Dogwood in front of my house.

Hello all, my first time posting in this forum. I didn't want to bore the people over in the lens forum so I thought I would post my simple Dogwood bloom shot here. I took several shots of my daughter and played around with DOF with my new lens and I have to say I love it. I took about 50 dif shots of the DW tree and this one was nothing special and not the best, just the first one I grabbed to do some PP too.
C&C welcome just remember it wasn't a planned or setup shot, just a random shot.

Original shot off the camera

Nice job. That is a great lens, enjoy.

i think i like the original more, i love the clarity in it! nice pick-up on the new glass!

Yep, I prefer the original too. I'm thinking of picking up one of these lenses. How are you liking it

I am liking it a lot, just snapped a few shots off of my baby girl in room light at 1/80 sec iso 1000 f 1.8 that is awesome compared to what I am use too.

And BTW, the PP I did was to make it look creamy and smooth. I might have mentioned I primarily shoot portraits and candids of people so my PP leans more toward that

I knew I was getting away from the detail but thought I would try it out.
Thanks for the replies. I might do another retouch I can try something else

Very cool. Your PP wasn't bad, I just liked seeing more detail in the original. Enjoy!

Yeah, it's a great lens and enjoy . Very nice shot and I like the original one.

NIce pictures! I've been longing for this lens for quite some time now.
Enjoy your new lens, and keep posting your wonderful pictures!

Having trouble in Photoshop getting the colors to pop.
Here is a similar picture but as you can see I can't even get Photoshop to register the dual tones in the center of the bloom but you can clearly see them with the DPP touch up.
Can anyone explain to me how to get Photoshop to better translate my raw files?
Dpp touch up
