Yep ! Just another one that I shot a couple of days ago. Haven't too much else to shoot lately so I figure I would throw this one in here. I like all the hair that is visible. Wish he had more color.

Canon T21
Shutter Priority
1/500 sec
F5
ISO 100
190 mm
70-300mm lens
Couple of things here - Angle of the light - best to have your subject evenly illuminated - so get the sun at your back.
With these type shots F5 is not going to provide enough DOF - stop down some more - Increase the ISO to keep your SS Up, camera should be good to 800ISO at least which would have got you to about F11 with the same Shutter speed - if you expose to the right - will be better for noise at the higher ISO.
Vince, agree with Lances comments and would suggest a fill flash that would light the body evenly. When shooting closeups like this DOF is a very important factor and IMO should be maximised...
