Backyard?? I have a foot of snow in mine. Where do you live...? I like the last one. The angle is much better then the first one. You should saturate the color a bit and darken it.

Heheh 38C/100F over here in certain parts of Australia
 Those pics are straight out of the RAW convertor, so only did a resize in PS and posted them up. Wanted to show what this lens is capable of without any post processing. |

I personally don't see the $1000 price tag in those pictures.

Never seen a white Christmas here in the 27 years I've been alive. Average temps for 25th December is 25C/77F so no snow here. Average minimum temps in my area only get down to 8C/46F so we'll never see a snowflake.
That 'bug' is a cicada shell, and will still be there unless disturbed by a gust of wind or other animal creeping by. Unfortunately I don't have any macro lenses or adapters so can't get a close shot  As for it not being worth $1k, I could have easily said the pics were taken on my 70-200 f/2.8 IS and you'd probably have the same opinion. I can rarely differentiate between pics taken between either lens. Yes, EF-S *may* turn out to be a problem for me in the future, but for now, the lens is suiting me very well. |

As much as I like the Tamron, the bokeh is crap compared to the Canon.

Hmm, the first photo looks quite vibrant on my calibrated LCD. But still, the photo was straight out of the RAW convertor with no adjustments, so it could definitely be made a whole heap better. I was attempting to represent the pure lens capability (sharpness & bokeh) rather than anything else. Thanks for the input though  |
