Well worth the look thanks.

I was struck by the number of women in the winners circle and that some of the awarded shots were taken with the much maligned Tamron 150-600 lens.

Yes, outstanding images. The Tamron 150-600 is an underestimated and under-rated lens. I hear it's a very good lens with maybe some softness at the long end. That's the technical pixel-peeping end of things. Guess what, a great looking image will be great looking no matter if you took the image with a Sigma 150-600 or Tamron 150-600 or one of the worse lenses on the planet. You may take the sharpest photo with the sharpest lens but if it doesn't have "it" then it is not going to matter. It's content, composition, light, uniqueness and creativity.
