It's a difficult question to answer, I think most modern DSLR's (with a good lens) are capable of images like this, especially the small file size needed for web.
The 1DS MKII comes into it's own in a couple of specific areas, the first and most obvious is if you want a large print, the 16.7mb sensor is capable of enlarging to A3+ without any problem.
The second (and not so obvious) is that the file holds so much detail, that I can pull back mid-tone and shadow detail without generating excessive noise, whereas a smaller pixel camera may do so. This is particularly important when getting whites in balance, I tend to expose for whites, consequently I'll have dark mid-tones/shadows, but I know I'll be able to retrieve these fairly comfortably.

Crisp, detailed, nicely posed, and colorful capture. Well done Les.

Nice pics wish I`d have got him but he was too close for me and too fast

Great colours Les, it really pops on my monitor.
