Just got the Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 EX DG APO yesterday. Took the wife and kids down to the local pond and photographed some birds. Taken during a setting sun, so I have adjusted the levels in PS. Also, sharpened most just a tad. All were taken with the Canon XTi.

I'm still learning and hopefully will get better and won't need to sharpen at all or mess with in PS.

The shot of the white-headed duck is great. Conrats on the purchase.

Nice pictures. I too am considering this lens as my mid-telephoto zoom. I don't think my ability warrants the canon version. I will probably combine with a 1.4 tc. Then one day maybe the 300f4is...
