Hi Clayton,
It looks good to me. I am quite pleased to see that it was taken with the Sigma 150-500 as I am considering it for purchase sometime this summer. From this image it looks as though you are happy with this lens. You did not mention whether you used a tripod or hand held. In either case the result was good.

Looks good to me Clayton, the dark bg sets her off nicely.

nice, Clayton! you're having some fun with these. Mine finally left about 2 weeks ago, but I sure did enjoy the 6 months that they were around. very nice pose and good looking exposure. I might try just a little more sharpening.

Very nice detail on this shot Clayton. What time of dday was this? Looks like you might have had some harsh light? You seemed to handle it well though
