After seeing your picture I had to go off and google Mesa Verde. Interesting, learned something new today.
You do take some great shots, Gary. Cheers.

Really cool shots of the kitteh, Gary!
A little smaller in size, caught a Tarantula Hawk Wasp who was dragging a recently 'paralyzed' Tarantula back to the lair. Holding a Surefire light between my fingers to get enough light with an overcast sky, while also holding the 5DS/R and 100mm f/2.8L Macro lens. The light also caught the iridescence of the wasp.
1/160 : f/7.1 : ISO 400

This might be a better forum header to get info on any issues with 5DSR focussing issues ?
I've had my 5dsr for 10 months now and have struggled with a low rate of keepers. I've tried it 95% of the time on 600mm and 800mm lens's as I use it primarily for still wildlife, preferring the 1DX on the 400mm f2.8 for BIF / action etc. My issue is that I frequently get soft or out of focus images. I've been shooting long enough that I know how to use a Canon SLR and I don't have any issue with my 1DX but it is very frustrating. The focussing square can be right on the subjects eye but the image shows as if I completely missed the target. When it nails it, they're so sharp you can cut yourself (samples below), but frequently when you zoom in 100% the images look as if vaseline is smeared on the lens, (even at shutter speed is 1/4000th f6.3). I just can't figure this body out and now find myself shooting multiple images of same subject in the hope one might work out.
Canon CPS Dubai (unfortunately a franchise outsourced service company), has seen it and made some adjustment that hasn't helped. I've tried camera settings to adjust by lens and also disabling that setting. No difference. I've tried using three main focussing settings (single square, single square with dot in middle and the 6 point focussing setting. Some provide better results than others but nothing like my 1DX.
Has anyone experienced this? Could it be as a result if the insane resolution being so particular or sensitive ..to my crappy shooting style ?

The higher MP of the 5DsR does call for a review of shooting style, having said that, have a look at the recent Wildlife (moving, not dead) Images of Gary Samples, 5DsR, moving wildlife, sharp Images, great stuff.
I'm currently going through a similar downcast semi suicidal depressive stage, I've just taken possession of my new Hasselblad H6D 100c, and anything that moves that's not dead (this is not the camera to video the "Walking Dead" serious) is requiring a serious re think on my whole pre programmed (1Dx) style of Shooting.
Having said that, I'm quite honestly enjoying the situation, now I'm actually really thinking the shot, taking my time and ensuring I have all the bases covered, the 1Dx has made me a somewhat lazy photographer, which I also enjoy, the 5DsR & H6D are I feel, making me a better Photographer.
And I still have time to enjoy my Sony RX1R II, thank you to the Photographer God for giving us choice.
