Ringin' in the New Year

So I took the sigma 70-300 Macro out to play today. I mostly bought this lens for taking to the zoo and such, but I am finding I am in love with the macro feature. I now have a serious jonesing for a "real" macro. Anyone have a Nikkor macro they feel like selling me LOL? Anyhow this was shot at 200mm in Macro. SS 250 F5 ISO 640 all on my D80.

This is a beautiful photo. Awesome idea for a winter wedding. No critique from me. I love it.

I really like it too, love the background blur. Only thing I can think of to add is a star filter might have added a nice twinkle to the stone. Mind you, I am not sure how well they work with an overcast day.(I have never used one)

I love this image. I have not seen one like this before. I find it very creative and definetly an image for the beginning of a wedding album.
Does it have a slight blue tint to it or is it my monitor?
Thanks for posting!

Thanks for the comments everyone. "me" I had never heard about a star filter before this and sure enough you are right it probably would have added some twinkle. Moni, you are probably right. I hate to warm my winter pics up too much because I think thye should look cold. Sometimes they end up looking TOO cold. I will have to play with this one.
