Hi Palachandra I have that lens too. Your result shows just how sharp the images are. Great capture. I love the colours too.

Very sharp.

I get to borrow the same lens fairly often and use it with my D90 - I've certainly enjoyed using it, even at 300mm, and am sure you will, too.

Nice shot. I purchased the same glass a few months ago and it is one lens that I use a lot. Love the contrast and colors in your photograph.

Its a great lens and probably one of the best values in 300mm if you use it where you have plenty of light and don't need very fast focus results. I love mine.
