Jac and Dadipentak, thanks.
the reduced resolution demanded by this site robs these exposures of the true depth I see on my monitor in the PP phase.
I say the Q is an exceptional little beastie, a credit to the Pentax engineers who came up with the concept. It has changed my mind about mirrorless cameras.
I tried to do some 'comparison shots' where we took a a similar image with the Q and the K-5.
Once I get some time I'll PP the results and see if it makes a significant difference.
I'm in awe of the Q. What it does with that tiny sensor is remarkable.

They say the best camera you can use is the one you have with you. The Q is ideal because it is so compact that you have no excuse not to have a camera handy.
I took the Q to Thailand recently, along with my k5/k7 and a few lenses. I think the Q will be making far more trips in the future and the big boys might just be left behind.
The Q has its weaknesses, such as a lack of telephoto (which has just been announced, I notice) and bad flaring when shooting into the sun because Pentax (a la Canon) failed to provide a hood with the lenses, but for a small, light versatile travel combo, it's hard to beat.
