Graham:

The 'steps' shot is nicely composed. The man give a nice sense of 
scale.  Well done!

The 350 Tamron shot is very low in contrast.  Is that 'haze' causing it, or 
is your Tamron a low contrast Catadioptric?

Although, curiously, I have both the 500/f8 MTO and 1000/f11 Celestron 
mirror lenses and both have higher contrast that your shot would indicate 
the Tamron has.

Whatever the cause, it does give the shot a nice, 'soft' look!

David.
