Nice capture. I can empathise with you when it comes to getting one to sit long enough to get a good photo. #5911282Martin J. Preslar May 13, 2008

If there is one thing that the Sigma 70-200 2.8 does well it is shallow DOF! In truth, there are many things it does well though... #5936164Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
