I love the out of focus area in the first shot. I also like the fact you used the Sigma 80-400 for these. After my experiences with the 70-200 I'm really tempted to get the 80 - 400.

it is not the fastest focusing lens in the business.. but it has very very good optics, its sharp, with great colors and a very good image stabilzation system... and if you use it smartly, i.e. use a little prefocus and be prepared, the lack of USM/HSM is not as big of an issue, unless of course you do sports/action.. then i recommend a fast big prime..
