Learning on a new lens. Comments positive or negative appreciated. I can always use tips to shoot better photos.

Color, contrast and exposure look very good. Don't know if you are using autofocus or not but the focus point is definitely not on the subject in the 2 bird pictures. The rose stamen is very sharp. Maybe a little smaller f/stop to increase DOF and manual or spot focus on the eyes.

Are these hand held or tripod mount? If on tripod, is VC off? I have this lens too and it's much heavier than what you're used to, therefore a steady hand shooting is harder to achieve.

Other than those unknowns, I'd have to agree with what SonyA580 said.

Thanks for looking and commenting Grnway. Yes they were taken on a tripod. The lens is heavier than I thought, too. It is hard to hand hold.

I have this lens for my Sony A850. It's a great lens.

We need more info to help out. EXIF data when you store the photo as 'original' will allow us that opportunity.
