Pretty. Thanks for posting more evidence that I need the 85mmL, as well as the 35mmL and the 135mmL. I like #1 and #3 best. The foreground flower in #2 bokeh-blurring into the background flower is a little unfortunate, but the colors are wonderful in all these.

Really nice, especially No.3, I love the crystal clear reflection in the water!
There's something distracting about the Bokeh on the right side of the first image, it has white lines 'scratched' through it (like a faulty printer almost)

Did you do a lot of PP to these or is that just the 85L, its almost dream like..

#2 is simply beautiful.

Good work, Mike. Love the last one.

Nice series. Wonderful compositions and very dreamy!

I actually prefer #2 for the dreamy look.
