Its a great first attempt Westley

Reading the 'Exif', it was shot at F4. Next time try starting at around F9 to get alittle more DOF. I normally shoot anywhere between F9 and F22, never really below F9.

Off camera flash is also a great help for shots like this.


My fly shot: HERE: http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=245273

was shot at F16, 1/160 with an off camera flash.
