danski,
Saw both versions. Both very nice. Do have to say the IR/black-white is more striking, maybe unexpected. Very nice.

Dien, Thanks for your comments and tips! I, too, may have to start carrying string with me on my photo shoots!

Here are a couple more of mine:

Hi Dak723
Fantastic shots. Happy to know the advice has been followed to produce such nice pictures. I prefer the second shot as its composition is more balanced. You may crop the foot of the first picture to improve the composition. Can't wait to see your more shots.
Cheers, Dien.

5DSR, 100-400 II, 270 mm, f5.6, 1/640, ISO 800.

Bokeh is ~OK, but would have liked to try this shot with the 200 f2.

Unfortunately the last one has some parts blown out, it was a very windy, but also very sunny day, so I was glad to get this shot at all (my excuse).

Cheers Brian

Lovely; made me think of shooting flowers with the 300 2.8 and extension tube for nicer bokeh. Try the 200 and post the shot or is it too late?

Hi Jack, weeds that are colonising some slanted riverbanks that have been strengthened
with loads of rubble. There are some really interesting plants amongst them.
Cheers Brian

The first one is commonly called Queen Anne's Lace where I live. It isn't a weed, but rather a wildflower.

I don't know what the other one is.

Very nice picture, Vern.

Hi danski.
My understanding is a plant is only a weed when it is growing where some human doesn't want it. Grass is a weed in a flower bed, somewhere else it is called a lawn! ;D

Cheers, Graham.

I suppose....

I happen to like Queen Anne's Lace though. My whole yard was full of it and I let it all grow out (bloom). The neighbors didn't like it... and I didn't care.
