I much prefer the second or sixth image. With the second I'd want to see him
looking into the frame instead of out of it - you have a good pose and a
catchlight in the eye in both the second and the sixth.

Subject: Sparrows, now at twice the focal length!
I brought the bigma to work today. Using what I learned on Friday,
plus a lens with twice the max focal length (500 vs 250mm), I took far
fewer frames, but I think the results were a lot better.
I think that artistically, this is the best of the lot:

Here is today's set of 16:

And for those that want to do a side by side of the tamron 18-250
versus the sigma 50-500, these are the ones I shot last week

Observations:
Even in these days of ridiculously high resolution sensors,
focal length matters.
Particularly at high resolution on my big monitor, a few of the photos
looked just a bit rough in the noise department. It turns out that
they were shot at ISO 6400. The twenty first century has done some
very good things for photography.
Even so, I really should have used my monopod so that I could have
dropped the shutter speed and gotten more depth of field or a lower
ISO.
