Point Loma lighthouse, Cabrillo Nat'l Monument, CALIFORNIA.
Lens: DA* 60-250 mm f/4 ED Camera: Pentax K3 Photo Location: California ISO: 100 Shutter Speed: 1/125s Aperture: F8

I think I was tired from walking a very long distance and I shook a little taking this picture handheld with a long telephoto lens. A tripod would have provided a really sharp image but I had to walk really far to get this framing and the weight of a tripod wouldn't have helped. The old lighthouse is a magnificent sight at land's end at the southernmost tip of California.

K3 + DA* 60-250 mm f/4 ED, 250 mm FL, 1/125 sec @ f/8. I should have used ISO 200 or 400 instead of just 100 to get a higher shutter speed. The back monitor screen isn't big enough to evaluate critical sharpness in bright daylight.

As Angky stated, you got great colors. The shot looks good to me (viewing on a Kindle 10 inch screen).

This DA* 60-250 mm telephoto zoom is "tack-sharp" when properly supported. I just missed a little. Colors and contrast are O.K. but sharpness should be better. Sorry !

Regards
