That's quite a significant crop! It looks like you cropped the 60MP image from the 43mm lens to an equivalent of about 210mm, which goes beyond the crop modes on the Q3 43. As a result, your image has a depth of field of around f/10.
So, your final image is about 2.56MP, right? Still great for web sharing.
Peter Karble mentioned in an interview that as we move past 60/100MP sensors, photography will allow cropping anywhere in the image while still producing good results, especially with high-quality lenses. While this is exciting for many, I think it’s better to frame your shot properly at the start rather than rely on cropping later. That said, it seems to have worked well for you, and I’m glad you’re happy with the result!

I'm not arguing the merits of framing properly in the first place. In fact that's the whole reason I got the Q3 45. With my Q3 I was cropping to 35 or 50 most of the time, which is why I sold it and went to pretty much always using, spoiler alert, my SL3 with the 35 and either the 50 APO-SL or the Summulix-SL
I also just checked it by reframing it and using the crop modes of the camera. It's very slightly tighter than the 150mm framing. I agree, though, it's a small image perfect for online sharing, but I certainly wouldn't print it.
