Wow Max!
Fantastic, vibrant colours and a funny shot that 2nd one is too! They're lovely and sharp as well!

Great pix. I really love the first one - he actually looks guilty with all of that evidence around his face.
Well done.

Great shots. The first one works well on its own, but is even better beside the second one.

Sure was, I'm beginning to think that the outlay on this lens is worth it, if just for the bokeh! Having said that, it focusses so fast it is quite difficult to get the hang of at first.

That first shot knocked me out of my chair! That's what it's all about! That's why we do what we do! Fabulous shot!

I can't get over that 2nd shot. It's great, so much character not to mention damn funny.

very nice. it has all been said already - colour, sharpness, etc.
haha well as for the 70-200VR's focussing... sometimes it gives a little kick when it engages

Oz,
I had a good laugh on the second shot, great timing.
That first one is wonderful, WOW. You are making great use of that new gear of yours, well done.
cheers,

Wash your mouth out Seeto, it's not VR, it's IS!
(And I hardly ever use the IS)
