I've been eye-balling that lens.... I'd like to know your thoughts on it.* I have the 24-75 and I LOVE it...

That series is with a Sigma 18-50mm, Desmond, this thread about a Tamron 17-50 2,8. Are you saying they are identical?

Was the top of her veil blurred or did you do that afterwards ?

Actually, the evergreen shrub only extended to about a foot from the top of the pick. I hastily cloned more in from below to make the entire background green. I think I had a 10 pxl edge and that blurred the vail. Good point! I'll have to be more carefull.

This photo could also be titled "The Fox & The Vixen" . . .

A longer focal length, and a more oblong crop, say 2:3, might have provided a more flattering perspective.
