Oak Creek Canyon north of Sedona received its first snow a few weeks ago. These fir trees were seen living and dieing in a crack up in the canyon wall.
Nikon D810, Tamron 150-600mm @ 600mm f/8, ISO 64.

This image really works well in b/w, Doug. Has a very mysterious appeal. No nits from me. How do you like the tamron 150-600?

Doug,
That's quite a reach at 600mm, yet this really doesn't come across as an extremely long telephoto. Of course great landscape images can be had with the long lens. And this works very well. A great story too with the "dead and dieing."
No nits or suggestions, although I'm curious about how the wider view looks, in terms of scale for the trees and the wall? This comes across very well as it is though.

This is anice extract. The depth of field doesn't hint that this was taken at 600mm. I like the tones and textures, and the snow really adss a lot to this. Nice work, Doug!

Very nice image, Doug. This is an intriguing subject that is nicely captured. This has a good range of tones and nice contrast throughout.

A wonderful intimate scene created with the tele. Sometimes the only way to isolate nifty scenes such as this. Like the BW.

Thank you for your comments.
Gary, I have not tested it extensively for resolution and AF tracking. It is noticebly soft at 500-600mm as this image and the reviews indicate.
Lon, here is an image taken at 175mm so you have a sense of scale. The tree in the crack is on the left edge. The first image was about a 10% crop.
