Nice shot! More please.

Wow! I don't know how you managed to get this shot when clearly Pentax isn't capable of shooting action. Maybe your K-2ii has some prototype AF system the rest of us don't have! ;-)

A very good shot!

It's a joke. We hear a lot about how Pentax AF isn't capable of shooting action, but users here show again and again how skill and good technique overcome so-called equipment shortcomings.
