Thanks Paddy,will pass that on.As mentioned these images were submitted into a comp.Which we rarely do.but interesting to get feed back from other sources.The Varied sittella,did not score well at all,as I thought.As the judges thought it was 'upside down'. But the image has been very well received in more 'scientific' forums and people who understand these little 'bark peckers'.
The comp was run to national standards,so was interesting to see how it worked-the scores over 20 were very difficult to achieve,with 27 the max.
Joel did well with a first with Kangaroo,and second with J.W,all others who have seen,said they prefered th J.W.All in all a learning experience.And Joel put the cash prize towards the Canon 600D I just bought him from DWI.Along with the 28-135 mm lens I purchase in IIS classifieds-will get him started-think he might be keen for a 100-400 L like you got Paddy.
How is your friend going with the 50-500 Sigma lens,Paddy?-you mentioned he bought it around the same time as you got your 100-400-and have you done any comparative testing?
cheers Chris
