Sigma f/2.8 EX DG APO HSM

Canon 1DM2N with Sigma 300mm f/2.8 EX DG APO HSM - 1/1000 @ f/2.8 ISO 200. Even at a distance close to 80 feet, notice how shallow the depth of field is at maximum f/2.8 aperture. I deliberately focused on the brightly colored sneakers, rendering the torsos of these three people enjoying an afternoon Central Park just a touch soft.
