well my front yard flower bed is about as close as i get to nature here lately... i grabbed this shot with my new favorite wedding lens... the canon 50mm 1.4

Hey - nice tulip! I have a copy of the 50mm 1.4 and have to say it has really excellent blur characteristics, as you've nicely demonstrated here. DOF at 1.4 is a predictably narrow but it's a fun lens - especially in low light situations.
yeah its real fun... this shot is not even fully open... it was taken at 1.6...
the wind was blowing pretty hard so i opened it up and cranked up the iso and shot through the wind!

Hey Matt, nice shot. I'm still anxiously awaiting my tulips arrival. The point of focus is perfect here and I like what the 1.6 did for it. I might suggest cropping down from the top half-way to your subject, brings the attention even more to the beautiful bloom you've captured. Nice job on this one!

I love the detail and color in this shot. I recently bought one of those lenses primarily to double my 5d rebate though and haven't used it much.
