SD10, Sigma 300-800mm @ 800mm.
F8, 1/1000s, ISO400. CS2 levels & sharpen.
Spent about an hour with this guy in front of me. It usually takes flight as soon as it sees any movement but I was there first today.
Comments welcome.
Best Regards

Glorious, wonderfully 3D, super light and action. Will you be buying the new sigma?

After seeing this image I'm certainly glad I've waited in purchasing my first dslr. I had my reservations about the SD10 but cannot deny it (and the photographer) can produce superb
results as this picture shows. Great! I think the SD14 will be the one for me. Roll on the 26th September!!

Your Post processing ability and the output from the SD10 are superb. This image is one of the most realistic yet vibrant shots I've seen in a long time. The Foveon has promised so much and can deliver in the right circumstances. The SD14 is one to watch for.

Superb capture :toast:
