No ugly ducklings here.

I, too, would like to know if Sigma lenses are a worthwhile purchase in general. I'm looking to buy a standard zoom lens for my Canon SLR and don't know if I should just stick with a Canon lens or buy a Sigma with a larger range.

It looks like a fence, but more accurately, a reflection of one.

Yes, there's a bridge behind which reflects to the water.

depends on the lens. a $100 dollar sigma lens is going to suck compared to the $300 canon equivalent, but when you compare other lenses, you find the quality is often very similar when the price is close. (eg, 10-20mm superwides. the consencus seems to be the sigma is better than the canon.)
