That is a SHARP shot! I agree with the title. I love the shot, but do NOT think he is cute ;) Very nice shot. So F11 over 14? what lens? mpe 65 or 100 (assuming one of these two.)

mpe-65..no doubt f14 even f16 at 1:1 u can get sharp shots..i didnt like how it was giving me jet black backgrounds..in this shot i have bit of green in background..if i had subject that needed alot more dof i would of gone to f/14 or 16 if needed..but i leave it on f/11 now and shoot 1:1,2:1 and 3:1 at f11..then 4:1 and 5:1 f/8

Nice one MJ, I just love those hairy mouth parts - perhaps he needs a shave. ;)
