This photo was shot on Chelton Beach on Prince Edward Island. I used the Canon EOS R and Laowa FFII 35mm f/0.95 lens, shooting somewhere near wide-open aperture for the limited depth-of-field effect.
At this f-stop (f/0.95), the lens produces pretty noticeable vignetting, especially in the lower corners. In the right conditions, it also produces a pretty noticeable colour shift into the purples on both sides. It's something that I've noticed especially in blue skies, but it appears on both sides of the frame, especially near the top corners.
While all of these attributes are probably optical flaws, I prefer to think of them as "character." When you know what the lens will do in a given situation, then you can leverage these imperfections to actually improve the image or create the sort of effect you are looking for. This image is a prime example of where I wanted a fairly shallow depth of field, but where I also liked the strong lower corner vignette and purplish colour cast to isolate the green seaweed encrusted rocks while adding drama and warmth to the image as a whole. While I did tweak the image further in post, most of what you see here was achieved in camera. The lens allowed me to achieve the result I was looking for with little additional manipulation and no fakery using AI.

Voightlander 28mm manual focus lens. You never know what you might find when you walk in the streets. I saw this unique scene in Philly and later found that a vandal had shattered the glass and the owner of the shoe store fashioned a shoe to fill the hole.

Not sure what flower this is but, it opened up today so I went out to the front yard to roll around in the grass a bit to try and get some shots.These were all done with manual focus vintage lenses. This on the Nikon 55. I am an older guy with a tremor disorder so for me to be able to capture hand held shots like this is pretty amazing and alot of fun.
