Got this shot when trying out the Tamron 18/200 on the K10 D.

Very nice. Did you adjust exposure at all (either in pp or with the exp compensation) ?

A very well taken shot.

Excellent shot and from a very nice angle. All the detail of the top
of the bird is clearly visible. The tonal range in bright sunlight
is too much to capture properly so a little bit of burning out is
preferable to darkening everything else.

Nice shot, I like the background, really makes the bird stand out.

Excellent result, hard to capture in flight like this, to get 'everything' right very difficult!
