    Funny... I thought Merlin had a pointy wizards hat and a robe =P

    Jokes aside, I love it. Simple and elegant. Personally I think teh barbed wire really sets the mood for this one... it's the I look pretty but I am tough attitude... kinda like Pamela Anderson's tatoo....only better

    Excellent, Greg! Love the barbed wire too. The barbs go perfectly with the talons - like comparing nature's and man-made versions in one shot.

    I would have liked to see a slight crop off the right side so that the two outboard barbs are centered horizontally within the frame.

    Amazing results with the lens shot wide open. Thanks for sharing.

    What's a Loupe for anyway?

    Re: Merlin

    Great image!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I guess people don't understand how much easier the sigma 500 is to handhold(to me atleast) than say a canon 500f4.5
