I'd like to echo all of Ted's comments. I agree about the tail.

Did you take any shots in portrait perspective versus landscape?

[BiikeMike]

Thanks for the Comments and suggestions, and unfortunantly, I did not get any in portrait, or with the whole tail.

I was too infatuated with my new lens, and to scared to turn the camera for fear of dropping it! :)
