Certainly as you've shown us many times in the past! HOWEVER. :-( The first photo? You shot it way too loose and even though the focus is right on the mark of the main subject, your daughter. There are so many people in and around they completely become a huge distraction in what could've been a wonderful photo with the coloured blossoms forming a beautiful out of focus Noctilux background. If you had taken maybe 4 or 5 steps closer to her and done your best thing as we've seen you do, it would've been a classic rei shot! :-) NOW! :-) Too some degree you saved your buns with the second photo! :-) Now that's what a Noctilux can do in the hands of a skilled photographer who knows how to make that lens work so effectively! Well done! Good on you! cheers, Dr. ted :-)
