The lighting is somewhat difficult in these, being in open but backlit shade under a cream ceiling and some afternoon sun thrown in, with the previous shot window backlit inside in tungsten lighting. Subjectively, the dog's fur looks pretty accurate to me. There is an element of backlit, newly coloured hair plus some direct sun beam from left involved in Mrs Hoppy with the doggie! White balance was auto and subjective. I'll have another try. I have actually just calibrated the camera output with a 24 swatch colorchecker and profile editor. Theoretically the colour interpretation should be spot on. The new Adobe M8 profiles though have really changed the rendition of reds , oranges and greens for example. I shall experiment further. The bo-ke you liked is very characteristic of the 75AA and its 50 brother. So is the magnificent performance contre-jour.

Is it my screen ? I see a greenish/yellowish cast in both ... particularly the dog's hair in the first one, and the face of the second lady, and her hair on the left-hand side of the photo. The bokeh is wow ! A nice doggy it is. Yours?
