If the bokeh of the lens/subject/lighting combination produces bright edges 
(similar to the effect of unsharp masking on a high contrast transition) then 
it's likely that the demosaicing matrix will produce quite bad colour 
distortions as can be seen in the rings behind the birds leg on imgp0037.jpg.

Foveon will more faithfully reproduce pixel to pixel colour transitions as the 
colour information for each pixel represents a direct measurement not 
interpolated data.
