I initially read the title of this thread as "advice on shooting back"!!
Your depth of field here is too shallow. You either need to stop down further or change the angle to get more of the beastie to fall within the DOF available.
just my 2 cents

oh *******, just checked the exif and it was F/8 ... should have been F/16.Your depth of field here is too shallow. You either need to stop down further or change the angle to get more of the beastie to fall within the DOF available.
What I need is my own setting on the dial so that I can quickly turn it, shoot and not have to look at the F and iso.

Anyway, this is uncropped and the lens was virtually touching its nose.
Was using the Tamron 90mm with vivitar macr teleconverter.
Question is, how do I get detail in a picture like this .. its a very hot sunny day here, no flash used but it just looks a mass of black to me.
