In fact everything looked white, but some details. For instance, the fences on the right (dark green) stood out, so I got them lighter. Same with some colored patterns on the high speed train nose and sides.
Thank you for adding this info.

I'm a big an of the framing, the position of the subjects in the frame and the idea behind it.

I'm a "more contrasty" kind of guy and this feels just a tad to gray with no definite black.  Just my thoughts on it...not knocking it at all.

Thanks Gryphon.

The lack of deep blacks is on purpose, and a result of PP.

That being said, it is true that the Tamron is less contrasty than, say, any Zeiss I have (25/2, 35/2, 50/2, 135/2). It is probably very good for portraits (1/2 body, or nudes...) in mild tones, but I have yet to test it under such circumstances.
