FYI: the photo I posted is a crop , a severe one in fact - as I was
surprised by the "quality" of my dirt cheap new Oly zoom which I was
then testing
Shot with the L1 at more than 250mm - which in 35mm terms means a
mighty 500 - and from a distance of about 8 to 10 meters/yards. Handheld.
Oly lenses have been, for decades, one of the most underrated lens
lines, around. Their basic consumer lenses, which includes your
70~300 lens, are stunningly good image cutters, even if built to a
"consumer" standard. I now have two of their "pro" line lenses -
the 12~60/f2.8~f4 and the 50~200/f2.8~f3.5 SWD lenses. In limited
use, for just a couple of weeks, I have been absolutely amazed at
their quality, equaling anything I've owned in the Leica line.
The full picture is now sitting next to the crop at :

for you to make yourself an opinion.
Developed in Lightroom, but not sharpened from what I remember. No
PS inside either.
Your shot is gorgeous; and the subtle detail, at such a severe crop
is amazing. A credit to the lens, and the photographer.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers!
