very nice shot, i love the light and the textures and the composition of the image. but it seems a bit over-sharpened. i fell that this way the texure is a bit too agressive and the smoothness of the bokeh goes slightly nervous. did you sharpen before you resize the picture for web viewing?

just my 2 cents...

Cheers, all feedback appreciated :) It was only sharpened after resize for web. I probably should stop running everything through the same action!

I love that 50 1.2. Shot most of the 50 range lenses and while the 50 from sigma is great, I wasn't diggin' the bokeh much. First shot of the 50 1.2 for my little girl, I felt in love. That lens is a keeper for sure. Nice subject too btw :)

From the two extremes
200 2L It surely shows how soft you can make a distracting background in an available light portrait.
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/airfrogusmc/IMG_5733.jpg

And the 24L I'd say not as ugly as some claim.

BIG NEWS! I just put my album on iTunes, and it is only $4.99! I played and sang everything you hear on the CD. I am attaching links to the facebook event and iTunes store below... And, here is my album cover. It's a photo that I took while I was home on Spring Break. Let me know what you all think!

Not many to choose from in my library considering I've only been a DLSR owner for a few months. . .But I love the Bokeh I got in this shot.

Thank you, Ricardo! There didn't seem to be any bees around now that I think of it! Great capture on your shot!!

Thank you, Keith -- shot that at f/6.3 1/160. I'm really happy with the bokeh that I get with the Tamron 18-270mm!

Great shot - I love colors and the backlighting on the silouettes!

Thank you :) That was with a 300mmL 2.8 IS + 1.4X

Thank you :) That was with a 300mmL 2.8 IS + 1.4X

Wow, I just looked at the 300mmL 2.8IS on Amazon -- that makes my little Tamron 18-270 look like a toy, ha!

A baby bush cricket from last year - I was testing out my 100 f/2.8 macro lens.

[mingkookoo]

Wow, never seen a bush cricket before. Thank you for sharing luvsadog2.

100 F/2.8 is a fine macro lens :)

[philcozz]

The Sigma 50mm at f/1.4 just destroys the background :)
