Agree with all of above, The exif says 125 at iso 200 and aperture 9.5?
The 9.5 aperture seems odd anyway, but never mind that for now.
To get the drop sharp you need a faster shutter speed, so raise the iso to 400 and or open the aperture a few stops, the background leaf does not add anything so the increased dof with a larger aperture would only help the image.
Did you use a tripod? for this sort of shot it really helps, then you can pre-focus manually on the drop and concentrate on getting the timing right. As for the crop personaly i would place it in the center of frame, but that`s my preference.

Always split, IMHO most buyers will only be bidding for the lens anyway so you are effectively giving the camera away; thus increasing postage for little or no gain. Sad as it seems I now have quite a few bodies which will probably be thrown away

Pleased to hear it.
thanks for feedback.

Good shots Mike, what ISO Shutter speed was the seagull taken at? Guessing the aperture was f4.

Very curious post,
For me as long as an item description is accurate then all is fair.
There will be occasions when an absolute "bargain" comes up, and it may be bought with a view to sell on at a profit, but the risk is always that it will actually sell. At the end of the day the buyer will only buy if they want a particular item at a particular price.
I think a good example is the recent Curry`s DA 100mm Macro offer, I have seen used lenses with greater asking prices. Some may indeed be buying to sell on, but nobody makes the purchaser buy it. Is this moral? probably not, is it ethical? possibly not, but it is legal.

Exactly Kris.

Bump,really is in fantastic condition.

Have no experience of the Sigma 10-20, although it does seem to polarise people, usually a sign of something to avoid IMHO.
I have the Samsung 12-24, it is fantastic, well worth saving up for, and very flexible;
