Would it be appropriate refer to that pick as "tack" sharp? Because I am.  Great pic of an alligator in its own version of ghillie suit

Loads of detail to enjoy in this photo.

DO you reckon f8 is the sweet spot for the Sigma ?

Yep - another great shot Grim. Tack sharp with super detail. Love the moss and algae. Was someone about to feed him? I don't recall seeing them pose like that unless they are about to get some scraps.

Thanks guys! Actually john to answer your question he was growling at another gator which turned into a fight. Unfortunately the only shots of that I got were a bunch of mud splashes. Yes Rod, f8 is the sharpest aperture on the lens as with most slower variable aperture lenses. Tony's suggestion of 2 stops down from your widest aperture is spot on but with this its a bit different. F11 actually seems a little sharper at 600 but f8 for the rest of the focal range. I usually just keep it at F8.
