Kangaroo close up with K100D

I have a Pentax K100D Super

I took this with a Sigma 18-200mm at focal length of about 80mm

f4.5 and was about 30 cm away from his head, was pretty lucky he didn't move

its my favourte phto to date, what i love iabout it is that you can see my repfelction in his eye, which i reckon is really cool

i think the bokeh is very good, and from what i've read the reviewers revkon the 18-200 has crap bokeh

Very nice shot Was it taken in the wild or a zoo :

hahaha no way i could get that close to a wild kangaroo

it was taken at a wildlife sanctuary, where the kangaroos are very used to people touching them, feeding them and taking pictures of them

The background looks some way off and I would expect that the bokeh of all lenses tends towards equality with increasing distance.

ah, that explains it

yeah the background was far off

I was wondering where you found a 'roo around here Peter

Lovely detail in the photo..
