An original subject. The very short depth of field is nicely placed on tortoise’s eyes giving them and his face great detail. The nostrils are just out of focus which is a shame and I wonder if he wouldn’t have been nicer with more sharpness on his body. Very short depths of field like this can really bring some small detail to our attention, sadly there isn’t much of that within the focus zone here. I guess he wasn’t moving too fast for a wider depth of field and a slower shutter speed.
