Felt I had to include them here as they were taken on the prowl, i.e; without tripod or any usual care. I've used the Tamron 90mm f2.8 handheld often for landscapes, yet normally wouldn't dare for more close-up stuff.
Whether it's because the lens' "sweet spot" marries with the sensor size of the 350D, I dunno, but I find it is my "always on" lens.

Right on Zig. Love the colour tones and detail of the first.
Truly beautiful, Zig.
The first one looks like a crazy alien thing, but I reckon it makes the shot superb. Simple, yet effective.
Again, #2 is nice - the flowers stand out against the background of the long grass. I think even though the long grass is intermingled along with the subjects, it doesn't intrude into the picture because of the colour contrast.
Both of these are very pleasent Zig - number 2 appeals to me especially (like the interplay of colour).
nice shots. I like sort of "simplistic" (in the most positive sense) pics like your first one.
the pink flower in the second makes it exciting to me...

I especially
LOVE the second one! I love the colours, which are spot on, the mix of flowers, the way you've graded the focusing and also the way you included the grasses. Nice composition.
All in all a real beauty of a shot imho.
Is that pink flower a variety of Allium?

Hi Pol; well, I ate one and it tasted oniony, so chances are!
