Another visit to our garden using a vintage lens (Canon FD 50mm f/1.4) on my Canon R5.
"Reaching" - 'Sambucus nigra', as my wife calls it, or Black Lace Elderberry for the rest of us.

Any interest in this group?
Hi all, I was looking for such a group but see that although there are many members there hasn’t been a single post. Is there interest out there in getting this group going?

I thought I would try out my 50 year old lenses: Canon FD 50mm f/1.5 SSC and Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 on my Canon R5 with the use of the appropriate adapter.

Outside the tourist area photos.
These photos were taken just outside of a small town in central Portugal.

Should the top of the head be cut off? First image seems a little dark, I really like the second image.
It's tough to comment on lighting, I now see the first image is better lit than at first thought because I switched to laptop with HDR screen attached.
In the top image ,If you are going to loose something then loose it......losing just a bit of the top of the head looks like a mistake rather than a visual statement. The image looks like it could benefit from being just a wee bit lighter, but I think it looks pretty good overall.
The image of the lady for me is way over worked, which is a pity as it looks like a really nice natural shot. For me skin, eyes and teeth have gone way too far making her look more like a mannequin. Why do photographers do that? Fixing blemishes is fine but keep the subject looking real. Compare her with the guy. Two very good looking subjects, from which you have nailed really good expressions which to my mind is the hardest thing.
Though those wee ball things on her shirt are very distracting!
Based on Eric's comments, do you have the shot before edits? I guess if it is non-destructive editing we could compare before and after.
yes i have, this is before editing
