Nice! You can take the girl out of the gang but you can't take the gangsta' out of the girl ;) Are you happy with the Sigma? I was looking for a wide and was considering that and the Tokina 11-17.

I assume you have a cropper. I would go for the tokina hands down. Faster lens, and most likely sharper, and wider.

love the second one

Great shots! The outdoor ones also show one of the major weaknesses of this lens - flare! It flares very, very easily, even if the sun is not in the picture at all. I own this lens as well and it can be used for very dramatic landscapes, but I have to be very careful to avoid flare. Given this is a super, super wide lens on my 5D, I have no complaints about sharpness!
