Better In what way? I hadn't discovered the MF zoom function for critical manual focus at that point, so I would agree focus could be more precise.
Nice! And welcome to the forum. I really like the wine cellar shots. And while I like the first few statue shots, I'd like to also see them in black and white, I think the texture would look amazing. They're great in color though, too.
The first one really grabbed my attention. I also liked the barrels and the bread, but maybe that's because I'm a drunk overeater ;-)
I'm assuming the flower shots were taken with the Lensbaby. I haven't tried one of those, but I think that's the effect the flower shots were meant to have.
