On the last night of an oddly non-photographic trip to Moab (new mountain bikes will do that to you) I figured I needed to at least try out the Sigma 10-20mm I'd rented for the trip... here's the result, I'm not sure about it, but I like it more than I expected to (of course, I didn't expect to like it at all :eek: )

Comments / criticisms always welcome.

I like the colors in this one, Bass. However, I'd probably crop the sky out starting just above the tallest flower. I like the deep blue color with the flowers and the sandstone, but the big empty sky doesn't do much for me. I think the tighter crop might be more interesting.

The wide angle is nice. Were you able to play with it any more?

I like the light and scene, but the sky is oversaturated, resulting in quite a bit of noise there, and the flowers look OOF to me.

Ditto what they said. Also, please note the max size allowed for posting images, which is 720 pixels on the long side. This is 881 pixels tall.

Thanks for the comments.

As for the size, I don't shoot vertical very often and just did my habitual 700 wide to post it :eek: I have corrected the size.
