I was going through some older files for stock purposes when I found this "oldie".

Canon EOS10D
Canon EF300/2.8L USM + EF20II
1/30 @ f/6.3
ISO800, RAW
Gitzo tripod, fill flash

Jasper,
I like the composition. Lovely expression but the right hand is distracting due to the flashed out look. There are lot of details in the image.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

I like the crop but would prefer more room at the bottom but the hand would be in the way. In the original I would prefer the whole hand or none at all. I would also have preferred it sharp throughout. All said and done an interesting image and one you would want to study...

Jasper,

With a Canon EOS10D at 1/30 @ f/6.3 and ISO 800 you got as much DOF as you were going to get. But I have to agree, the OOF hand distracts from the stare.

I'd like a crop in between the original and the repost. The eyes speak wonders...
