Amazing, I haven't seen a two-headed swan before

The great advantage of youngsters is not having to worry about blown highlights

Found these two of an adult taken the same day. Thanks for the replys guys. Clarky these two shots were with the sigma 17/70 and I think the others were with the Tamron 70/300. I have read a few comments re the Tamron some good some bad but you can only tell it as you see it and for me the lens is well worth the money I have loads of lovely shots from this lens on Pentax k100D and k10.
