The Birch Creek Charcoal Kilns are a group of beehive-shaped clay charcoal kilns near Leadore, Idaho, built in 1886.
The kilns were built in 1886 to produce charcoal to fuel the smelter at Nicholia, which smelted lead and silver ore from the Viola Mine located about 10 miles east of the kilns.
Thanks. On one of my monitors they look good when posted on FM, and on the other they look over-cooked, even though I did not apply very much sharpening. It caused me quite a bit of consternation last night, and I replaced those photos maybe 5 times using different settings. Here at home on my monitor at home they look fine. Finally I just gave up.
I used to have that problem with images posted on FM back in the day, but not anymore. These look great ... sharp and not over-cooked. And bokeh is so nice! They look like they were taken with the $13,000 Sony 600/4 GM lens!
Maybe you should just stay with the E-M1X for now ... or at least until the jury is out on the Canon R5.

Mike, FWIW the final two moose shots look soft on the head -- motion blur? -- and the Phoebe shots look tack sharp on my monitor.
Thanks for your comments. Here is what I think is happening with the moose...another source of frustration lately. The hair on the typical adult moose is VERY coarse and gets progressively finer as you head towards the muzzle. So when you shoot from a distance you get hair detail that gradually diminishes towards the muzzle, and it looks out of focus because the hair detail disappears. Take a look at that 3rd black and white shot. That was taken at 1/400 sec with the head perpendicular to the camera, yet the muzzle looks softer to me. Once you have this phenomena in mind, then it stands out on all the moose shots.
I may need to reprocess and selectively sharpen the muzzle area more.
Having some fun shooting Partial Color with my little E-M10 III while visiting the antiques historical shops area of a neighboring city. Just set the camera to Art Mode and Partial Color and spin the front dial to select the colors for the image and see it in the EVF. I used the 8mm f/1.8 FE and lens corrected the images in Olympus Workspace prior to export.
Yellow partial color with street reflections in shop window
Pink partial color without lens correction
Color selection made at the mix point between yellow and red
Here at home on my monitor at home they look fine. Finally I just gave up.
