A nice sharp image, Peter. The angle is a bit steep, but that's what we almost always get with this species. Good eye contact and composition.

A nice head turn. There's a bit less detail than I'd expect. What you have is nicely sharp. Was this 15% of the original or 85% of the original?

Nice comp, nice bird, nice perch! Nice image, Peter.
I've been curious about how the Tamron lens performs, and this show a very good image!
