Beautiful photo Dave! I am sure the Tamron is a great lens (much better than the Tokina), but at $1,200 and on a D7100 (the OP camera), not sure that would fit with the OPs budget nor would it give the 35mm equivalent POV of the Tamron on a full frame. A Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 (almost the equivalent of the Tamron on a full frame body) is $380.
Thanks for the nice comment. The OP didn't mention any budgetary limits and did mention the thought of going for a D750. Thus my suggestion of what I had used. Actually, I rented the camera and lens :-)
