Well as said first post in this section for a long time. I have finally got myself a long lens again (Tamron 150-600) so managed to get out for a quick play this morning. Light was pants so ISO bumped up higher than I would like at 1600 but i'm happy with the shot despite the bit of noise.

Anyway here it is.

As always C&C welcomed :)
 
Really nicely lit image. Can't work out whether there is a hair on your lens on whether it's at ached to the birds head.

Sorry, but all these watrmarks/sigs are getting on my threp'ny bits
 
I really like that Nick, looks like you got th hang of the lens already ;) look forward to more
 
Lovely image! Great out of focus background too, really sets the bird off well!

Thanks - its on the Bird itself, bit of a one strand Mohawk lol. I know what you mean about the watermarks but its just the way it is nowadays.

Thanks Adam - could have done with more light to get the ISO down and the shutter speed up but so far I'm happy with it. Just need to get used to the speed of the blighter's again as its a bit different from weddings lol.

Cheers. Its from the hide at the bottom of the garden and fortunately the trees in the distance are a good few meters away so make a lovely background.

This being not the first time I read this here as I thought "it is a lovely, well rendered bird".
So I went on Flickr and… I do notice a very slight difference in tonality that may be explained
by the presence of the black frame over there! …or am I missing something?

Thanks - yep I should have chopped the tree down a few years earlier then it would have been more suitable lol.

I don't think so. I just had them up on two identical screens and cant see a lot of difference. It seems that it is slightly compressed on the forum and therefore looks a little cleaner. Personally I would not use that high ISO's but I wanted to test the lens and the light was pants!!
