A beautiful shot, Dave. I'm thinking of buying this lens to give to my wife to give to me for Christmas - even though I already have a DA 18-250. This image is convincing me.

thanks jer... by the way, i liked your granddaughter series, but the beer in the porsche was killer... the beer never had it so good....
the 55-300 is a good lens.... i've used it almost exclusively at the 300mm length, and the results, with decent lighting, well, not bad at all..... this shot today was just happenstance... but this is a versatile lens..... right now, you could get one for about 300-...
regards and a joyous holiday season, dave m

Brilliant mate.
The lens does well in this setting, and it shows here.

Great shot! Was this stock or did you have a magnifier/crop?
