Those eyes look like liquid gold. Amazing portrait. Doesn't get much better than this.

Very cute portrait Ken. Love those two little teeth in the lower jaw! From my perspective I think you nailed the DoF just perfectly - good job on stopping down to f8 - so many seem to think you need to shoot portraits "wide open" (or close to it).

Cheers...

Really like this Ken. Nice techs all around and the cute face of that youngster is shown well with a tight portrait like this.

Thanks for the kind comments, the depth of focus was determined by the closeness of the subject and the fact that I was shooting down from the vehicle. devil
