Just want to see if I still look like a beginner

I love that cat shot (I might be biased) and it's as sharp as you'd want it to be.

I'll assume you have cats? They're such good models. And thanks for for the sharpness compliment. I get mixed feelings about this lens sometimes. I think I have low sharpness esteem.

I think sometimes, it's easy to get too hung up on sharpness. In some photos, sharpness is important, particularly if your subject has lots of straight edges. Other times, it's more important to just "get the shot" rather than get it super sharp.

I actually really like the bee shot. The wings are so sharp. I agree it's a little small but really interesting photo with good lucky timing.

You've got a point.
