I managed only a few quick pics using my 17 -55 2.8 (thanks Birddie) for the first time today
this is heavily cropped from the original pic of an 'artist' at work in Rundle Mall lunchtime today.
I'm looking forward to getting to know this lens over the coming years!!
CC as always welcome.
cheers

It is very nice lens R2 and you will find this as time goes by for sure.
Maybe it's a phase I'm going through but I think a bit more contrast/saturation would make this good pic, a great pic!

Lose the feathered border. It doesn't add anything to the image and it loses impact.
Try doing some curve manipulation to give the image more contrast rather than just a standard hue and saturation increase.

if its a sigma one can you tell me where u got it and how much?

thanks Geoff and Pirostitch for the comments.
this was definitely a quick pic and post using th elens for first time
I look forward to learning a great deal more about this (Nikon) lens over the years to come and appreciate your advice.
bumthology - not a sharp capture I agree - just an area of the original pic that I liked for its colours tho I need to boost the contrast and saturation to make it any where decent
cheers
