It's catching my eye, but at the same time it's a bit of an acid trip. I don't know how much of that vivid colours and tonal contrast has been achieved in post-production and how much is due to the Sigma sensor. Can you enlighten me on this, Brian?

It’s a bit of both, Gianluca. Sigma’s Foveon sensor gets a lot of detail and color. But in post Sigma’s processing software has a feature called “fill light” that, when used with care, can bring out details that you might not notice otherwise. The reflections of the clouds in the water popped out when I applied fill light. I think it’s the same with the contrasts in the sky. Thanks Gianluca.

Thanks for the explanation, Brian, very informative and enlightening.
