Thank you, everyone! I was really excited and thrilled when I put the images into the computer and started reviewing....the colors just pop with this lens, and the bokeh.....oh, boy, oh, wow!!! I had the lens wide-open because it was extremely windy here today and I wanted as much shutter speed as possible. That said, though, I also did tinker with different apertures, tried different angles on the subject to the extent that I could, trying to gauge what I was seeing through the VF as I made adjustments. Bottom line is, well, really, I just had a lot of fun shooting this bush that is outside my building. Seeing the results really did blow me away. This camera and this lens definitely do exceed my expectations, and the 90mm Macro absolutely was worth lusting after and waiting for!!! I've only just begun working with the camera and the three lenses..... As Edith Piaf sang many years ago, "Je Ne Regrette Rien...." I have no regrets at having made the choices I did and I think for me this is going to work out very, very well....
