Nice action shot! I like the blurring in places to denote movement - just wish the head were a touch sharper.

I used the Sigma 50-500 for three years and found it worked best up to about 470mm - after that I lost a bit of sharpness. Perhaps if this was at 500mm that could account for part of it?

Cool look to this shot. I love the blurred wings and the movement implied by the tail. The eye looks fairly sharp here.
