Wow. What a in depth comment ;-)
I'm very flattered ;-)
I'm waiting for the second one before I make any comment......
Seriously: Thanks Mike. Tightened it is.
BTW. Sorry about the double posting of this picture. It didn't show up, so I
though it could be a crap filter blocking it. Then I reposted using crappy
instead of crap.

I have been adviced not to use the word crap in the headline. I found
the
word Canon an appropriate synonym. In a way the Tokina lens _is_ a
Canon.
After seeing the results the Tokina makes, I am not sure it qualifies
for
the "crappy lens, bird shoot competition" When used within the
limititations
it performs pretty good, IMO.
This first shot is not a stunning picture. But thinking of my limited
skills
and the cropping I am surprised by the quality. There is a tighter
cropped
version there to (simply click on the thumb below the picture). I could
need
some help on the cropping. I find it hard to make a good composition.

Tripod, lightly tighted (my spellchecker doesn't like this word, is it
correct?).
Tightened.
istDS, 400 ISO raw, Tokina AT-X SD 150-500/5,6 @500mm, f:11, 1/500s.
Adjusted contrast, saturation, and sharpened plus cropped in RSE.
What do you think?
BTW: I will probably add another with later tonight. I find that shot
more
interesting.
