So I was done shooting birds for the day, it was getting dark and I hadn't used my Tamron 17-50 much, so I thought I would get some sunset shots and try it out. swapped off my 150-600, put on the 17-50 and settled in to shoot sunset which was pretty spectacular, when I heard this guy settle into a tree right behind me. Took some shots with the 17-50 but that wasn't going to cut it and he wasn't getting too excited so I swapped the 150-600 back on. 1600 iso, no sharpening or crop, a little noise control.

Yes have a tweak Dave looks like it could be a great capture, try warming it up a bit too. I'll check back later.

So a little re-work, not too bad considering except for the sky it was just about dark.
