Incredible shot, crystal clear detail and those eyes! I am amazed how you have got such deep depth of field, at so close with such a large aperture! I usually go for the smallest aperture; to hold field depth and to keep the subject within my natural fore and aft body sway movements!

[quote="szgabor"]What lens did you use? [/quote]I used the DFA 100 2/8 macro lens Gabor, it has been a very good investment, as the optical quality is superb
