BEAUTIFUL! It seems like everything I see from this lens looks like magic...

And to answer your question, I personally prefer the crop where the flower lies diagonal. Beautiful work.

Are these edited to look like paintings or does the 85L just give that sick of bokeh?

Theres no real post processing editing done here, just some cropping, WB...its just what the 85L does with the background around 1.2 to 1.8

The 85L already does amazing backgrounds...adding an extension tube takes it close in with the same watercolorish background effect.
