Ahhh, i found the photo you were referencing when you commented on mine entitled "Breakfast". Awesome captures.

Glad you found that, Frank, and thanks for the complement. When I got your message, I first tried to identify the thread you were talking about - then I lost your message and couldn't reply!!!!!
Again, your "Breakfast" image was a good one!
Cheers

Thanks. As this photo was taken in late August, it shouldn't be all that cold. Much colder in spring.

Mountain along Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier NP, with the KP + PS:

The level of detail in this PS image is ridiculous. PLM now in first position on my LBA list. (If I bother to make a list, is it still LBA?)

Osprey having diner.
KP + 55-300 PLM

This subject is nothing special. It was the first time I used the 55-300 on the K-3 mk III.
It is zoomed all the way out to 300. ISO 800, f10, 1/320 sec.
Straight out of camera as it was first time I used their iPhone app to transfer the photo.
Contrasting light is not a challenge for sharpness but I am still impressed a bit.
