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.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

As a fellow owner of the dreaded "G", I'd have to say that these photos are about as good as it gets with this lens. I think they're great shots that you can be very proud of. You have a wonderfully picturesque environment to play in and I think you're going to have a lot of fun wiht that piece of glass until you're ready to move on. I'm slowly convincing my wife of the benefits of a VR lens.... any year now, I reckon!

I have to agree with Simon, you play a pretty sweet tune on that lens. It goes to show that with skill and good choice of subject it doesn't always take the most expensive glass to get an expressive photo. Nicely done.
Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.

Beltbuckle - there are no problems with these pics. My theory is that you can put a bad lens in the hands of a good photographer and get great pics. Put a great lens in the hands of a bad photographer and get crap  Chris

Those are some nice shots. I really like the shot of your pup. 
I'd suggest reducing your sharpening a notch though, especially on shots like the first one, where sharpening halos are easily seen on tree branches.

Excellent shots there.
I have the Sigma el cheepo and will soon take time out to give it a proper workout and I'll be very happy if the quality of my photos approaches the excellent quality of yours.
I bet after walking your dog, your new task would be "washing" your dog
Cheers

Right you are about my dog. First thing we did when we got home was take the hose out and give her a good hose down!
