Fantastic detail and clarity, very well framed also

Perfect backgrounds as well, nothing to distract from the subject

Top marks

Re: A Young Dunny - No, Not The Aussie Kind

Hi Folks,

thanks for the comments, starting to get the best out of this lens now that I have the Manfrotto 393 Long Lens Head for my tripod and also getting the hang of the required camera settings as well which helps a lot.

Plus it helps having such a photogenic subject

Mike.
