Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Just a few images from my new Sigma 120 -300 F/2.8 lens.
It's big, it's fast and it's sharp. All in all I'm very happy.
The bike pics were taken late afternoon, so the setting sun was reflecting off everything, hense the bright reflections. I couldn't do anything about them.
The lens is a heavy sucker (2.6 kg) but can be handheld or monopod mounted.
The pics seem nice and sharp. These are amount the better ones as I'm still learning how best to physically handle the lens. Something I have noticed is that at 300mm you really need as monopod or a steady stance, trying to take images in the wind was a pain in the ass.
You can make your own decisions about the quality of my pics, but I think this lens is a winner! 
And a little blue car:
Pics taken at Wakefield Park, Goulburn.
Any comments and criticism welcome!

I clicked on the thread expecting to see a couple of example of some early 1980's Mitsubishi Motors engineering 
If the sharpness of these images are anything to go by, it looks like the Sigma is up to it.
Like you say, shame about the bright reflections - it seems to have claimed a bit of detail in areas like the brake rotors. Otherwise these are good

Thanks for comments. I'm hoping to get to Oran Park on Sunday to give it a bit more testing. It seems like a good lens though. Very happy!

RAZOR sharp!!
Looks to be as good as the 70-200 2.8hsm and that is a magic lens...
