March is such a creative shot, with the flowers in focus, but the barn not too blurred out in the background, so it communicates a deeper message. October is just compelling, pulling me deep into the photo! I really like that one. Or maybe I just like old barns. 😀

I don’t know your personality, but it helps me a LOT when I scout out a location beforehand, preferably at a similar time and same lighting conditions as the real shoot will be (sometimes an hour or two before the real shoot works fine).…Read more

If you haven’t already done so, it might be helpful to step through the lessons in the Foundations of Photography Course, Factors to Look for in a Lens, and Scenario: Buying a Lens. Those might help you narrow down some of your options and give you a better understanding of how to make this decision.
