I struggled with the baby elephants, they would not come out of the shadows.
All handheld, minimum processing.

I like the first one but with a bit more processing .... (hope you don't mind).

Don`t Mind at all Mike.
Am happy for anyone to play with images I post, it`s one of the reasons I post them. Your version certainly is better than the original. Must get to grips with PS someday.

What colours in that little bird. I loved looking at the photo of him, he sure draws you in, had to take my eyes off him to see his surroundings. What is he anyway? Looks half Robin and half Blue-jay!!

wasn't that sharp and produced terrible shots so
It does have a fairly bad reputation, but I am actually quite enjoying it, there are issues over poor contrast in certain circumstances but generally I think i`ve been lucky and got a decent copy.

Not sure about the elephant shot, when I look at the original it does look a bit sharper.

The first shot that Mike's had a play with originally lacked some contrast which is something I foind this lens terrible for but after a quick play its reallt been brought to life
My Tamron Adaptall 2 lenses are exactly the same but given the right processing the pictures really come to life. I presume it's something to do with the "digital age"
