Hi Steve,I think this is excellent shot but think it looks bit soft on my screen,think with 1/200th sec @ f8 with the sigmonster 300mm~800mm lens is pushing it a bit, a shutter speed of at least the reciprocal of the FL is needed with this lens,I have the same lens and that is what I have found

Regards

Hi Steve,
Nice shot, love the pose, eye contact and composition. I hope you don't mind I gave it a sharpen. I think the softness is a DOF problem rather than technique I often use speeds lower than 1/100th with my 800mm with no probs.
