Little tomato, big pot.

I made this vase

with different expectations

My hands failed to follow

the careful drawing

I was very disappointed

half hid it behind a chair

--when a visiting friend

another artist, spotted it

and announced it was

the best of my recent work

at the time

I had been unable to see it

Looking for the low light limits. Shot at ~7:30am, or ~1 hour after sunrise. Indirect light. Garden birds from 30 feet, off a monopod, no UV filter, through air, no windows. AF eye detect was great. Uncropped I think this image looks great. But if I went up a stop in the ISO the noise really spoils the party. For me this is about the limit - and its only one stop "worse" than a FF Sigma 100-400mm DG DN.

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. ~Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
