What are you trying to show with these photos? I don't know how much these are cropped (the info says these are all 2.8MP), but the result is that they all look soft. If you were simply looking to post some photos that you liked from the days outing that's one thing. And to that end, it looks like you had a nice day out.

But when I see "First photos with the new 150-600" I'm expecting I'm going to see something that makes me say "great lens", I have to get me one.

You might just consider lightening it up just a bit. Your post comes across as almost accusatory, rather than perhaps gently pointing out possible issues attributable to the photographer, not the camera. How about being a bit more helpful and asking about settings or suggesting possible causes for the softness you see?

Just be aware that post like this are the sorts of things that can chase new forum members away rather than offering help or suggestions for improvement. I'd probably react exactly the same way as he did in his subsequent post, TBH.
