    Very nice shots. I also like the first one best but also like the second and fourth shots too. Good eye clap.gif

    And a nice lens as well. I've looked at your lens on the sigmaforless.com website but was wary of the low cost. I've got a great sigma 105 macro BUT I've also got a cheap sigma 70 - 300 zoom that I consider to be junk. I bought it a few years when I dropped a better Nikon 70-210 zoom and couldn't afford to replace it.

    This lens is soft and has all kinds of internal reflections when shooting in any bright light. But I still use it occasionally! Saving for a 80-200 2.8 IS.

    But maybe I'll look more into your lens.

    Thanks for the shots and positive praise for the lens.

    I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.
