Thanks Brian, I'd like to say I took my time with the comp, but really it happened so fast I was just trying to get one that wasn't oof'd... lol

About the leaf yeah it was definately some type of vinening plant with berries/grapes, but haven't a clue what kind. It was wild though.

Thanks for your comments! :thumb

Jeff it's the Tamron 70-300, and it has a switch on the side of it for macro. When you swtich it on it locks it in the 180-300 range. It's sometimes tough though, I'm usually about 3ft from the subject which is not always ideal. Oh well, when I bought it my intention was to use it as a practice lens, which I'm still doing. Thanks for your comments! :thumb
