Excellent result Japie with your new lens. I guess you're gonna like it and enjoy many shooting trips with it. Even if it's heavy it's worth the effort when you need it. Excellent post with lots of details and good BG.

Very nice first shot with the Sigma, this lens seems good, sharpness is very good. But the photographer is more important !
I like the colors and the DOF. Nice eyes !

Congratulations for your new lens, Japie. As far as I see, you are not going to bring it back to the shop! Beautiful bird, very good light and environment. I'm amazed by the details and the homogene image quality. I don't think you could have a better one of this bird. It's perfect.

Ha Japie,

Zo, dat is een mooie prent, prachtig. Misschien wel makkelijk voor jullie in Zuid Afrika met zo'n dierentuin in de achtertuin. Toch blijft het een kwestie van foto's maken van de mooie dieren op het goede moment. Heel knap. Moeilijk dit te verbeteren maar ik voel me uitgedaagd.

Bedankt,

Hendrik.

May be you have to buy it now, Japie. To try it it is to adopt it, as they say. ;-)
And if you are made for each other, I hope that your wife is not too jealous. I hope that you will not have to choose between her and the lens. ;-)
Because me, I am jealous. I envy your new relation. ;-)
Seriously, I think you will make great things together and I wish good luck to you in your new life together, for the best and for the worst...
And excellent post: picture and note.
Thanks

Looks to me lik eyou have found an ideal marriage between the camera and lens. This image is excellent. I have spent many hours over the years watching and photographing shorebirds, so I know how difficult it is to get this close.
This is an excellent image with exceptional deatail. The shoot could easily be used in any photographic guide on shorebirds to illustrate this species. Very well done 10/10.
