Have a degu

[Morbius]

Thought I'd have a go at shooting my brother's degus. Easier said than done!

I tried to get close to the cage with a wide aperture to remove the front wall of the cage, but they're so inquisitive and came right up to the camera to see what was going on! Luckily this one was sitting at the back so I could get a decent shot of her. I bounced the flash off of the ceiling as I didn't want to upset the little critters. It's the only usable shot from the ten minutes I spent with them!

Very nice shot.

I think that looks really nice - sharp on the head and eye and softens further back. Is that as taken? or did you process it at all?

That's pretty much as taken. I was shooting wide open at f/1.4.
