Very minimal PP.

Not a bad result at all.
The soft highlights in the background complement the image well.

Took that down near Barwon River, suprised with what the little 17-70 Sigma can do.

Nice, looks like you have nailed the sharpness and DoF.
Any chance of a tighter crop?
I agree with Ash about the highlight bokeh

I actually did crop the photo a bit, I thought about cropping it more but I like it the way it is.

I was quite impressed that the lense was able to resolve the bugs little hairs.

Like I said I seriously understimated the Sigma 17-70mm and definately think its one of the best jack of all trade lenses I've used so far.

Heres some more Sigma 17-70 Bokeh.

Again I like that last one of the bridge. I was very happy with my Sig 17-70. I spent hours out using it on orchids:
