This shot was taken at the shore of the "Hinterer Gosausee" (Upper Gosau Lake). It's in a deep caldera where the mountain around it are about 2000m higher. Amongst them the "Dachstein" which is the highest peak in Styria. Autumn is a it's peak now and you can imagine what pleasure it was up there.

I find this the best of your recent foliage shots. 8) The others seem far too busy for the sharp lens you're using, at least for me (but I'm far from an expert!). The mountain backdrop breaks this one up nicely IMO. ^^
Yeah I can understand that. Not really anything you can do about it, except maybe artificial blurring in Photoshop. Still, most of the time that's one of the best lenses I've ever seen (I'm a fan of sharp focus). What was it called again?
