Wow, sharp and close enough to touch. Beautiful shots. Are the images cropped at all?

Wonderful images mtux.

Wow ! Is that sharp. After seeing these pictures, I would say the Pentax 560mm lens is worth it's price.

The first one is 2321 * 1548 pixels after crop.
Second one is 4664 * 3109 pixels after crop.
Third shot no crop at all.
and the last one is 2628 * 2537 pixels after crop.

And K-3's output resolution is 6016 * 4000.

Well done hand holding that beast of a lens! I saw it in Tokyo and certainly wouldn't attempt to use it without a tripod. Hand holding the DA*300 is enough for me!
