I think that color version can be improved by applying mild S-curve in 
photoshop to boost the contrast.

I can imagine ;-).

Tim, I think that even as good a lens as Tamron 300/2.8 is best closed 
down just a bit. Another point - applying -1Ev to 800 ISO is like asking 
for noise.

Obviously you know all that, but if you had proper tripod, which I know 
you did, why didn't you try slightly longer exposure time with f/3.5 or 
even f/4 and 400 ISO? Was it windy?

Like you've already placed your order for one?
