I spent the day at the park and there was sky diving all day. This is my first post and just wanna know what people think / how I can improve!!

I really like it. The blue/yellow contrast is nice and it looks pretty sharp. As it is, with the neutral area on the left, it would make a great 2-page magazine spread.

In an ideal world, I would like to see something else in the frame to give the skydivers some perspective. A shot of them nearer to the ground or a wider shot with the ground in view to give some clue to their altitude. I know you didn't have much time to set up the shot, though, and there is almost always something we wish we could change. I can just see it; left, a little more left, OK guys, hold it right there for a sec.

How do you like your Sigma? I have one coming next week and am itching to get my hands on it.

Sigma lens is fantastic. I wish I got it earlier. Still haven't had much of a chance to play with is completly though.
Thanks for your critique. I had more photos that included ground/buildings but just couldn't bring out the colours as good as in this one. This was my favourite.
Additionally, Here is my best 'other' shot including buildings/trees.
