1st Image with Tamron AF 17-50 mm f/2.8 XR Di II VC

This is the first image I shot with the new Tamron AF 17-50 mm f/2.8 XR Di II VC.  I sold my 50 mm and replaced it with this Tamron.  I know I’m going to love it, especially with the tri-axial VC (Vibration Compensation) feature.  I liked the 50 mm but I needed more zoom for large group photography.
