    hi folks .... again a frame from last year's garden set up .
    the subject was in shadow at the same time bg was sunlit .

    The Siskin looks good, I like the colours and detail, a little more DOF would have been good, The perch is ok but perhaps a little dominant in the picture. Sorry not a fan of the orange background.

    thanks Jon .... for your comment .
    where would I get the DOF from with that kit shooting in close range ???
    i am with you about the perch , me is not a perch specialist . well the bg was sun lit and the fg was in shade ... so the bg turned warmer due to balancing the wb . I do agree might be a tad too warm , will think about it .

    cheers Andreas

    Don't use 2x use 1.4!! Reduce mag = more DOF

    and crop even harder ??? well your call ... I rather shoot with the 2x

    and honestly I think the DOF is enough , at least for me . all the important parts are in focus .
