I couldn't believe this little guy let me get so close.

The details are exquisite, Jason. Right down to the toes.

Terrific work.

Nice!!! how close where you?

Thanks Guys!

I shot this with my 100-400L, at 400mm, at the close focusing distance, which I think is about 8-10 feet. I kept creeping toward it until I reached that point. I cropped about 15 percent off the edges.

Great shot Jason. You nailed the DOF on this one.

Thanks Richard! I decided that since I had strong light, that I would open up to f8. That really worked in my favor here.
