Halloween's eye

This Halloween Pennant was very attached to a single perch, so I tried to see how close I could get.  Eventually, I got to less than the minimum focus distance of my macro lens.  I backed off slightly to get some views trying to focus on it's eye, so this is a roughly 1.5X view.  With this much magnification, dof is a major problem, but on a moderately windy day, a stack to get both face and eye in focus was out of the question.  (5D3, 180mm macro L, 1/640 s, f/10, iso 800, tripod)

Hi Mark,

Nice mugshot of this HP.  Comp looks good and f10 did an adequate job of gettingmost of  the face and eyes in focus. Well done.....................Jim
