great lens, love the curves, it's a little dark for me, kind of hard to "read" what's happening right out of the gate - sorry for the pun - I tweaked the gamma and it seemed better to me FWIW

Interesting shot. Can see it in either the sports section or Lifestyles section of a local newspaper. It's perhaps a bit dark though.
