Perhaps the JPG conversion doesn't do it justice; but her face is in focus and sharp. I was shooting at f/1.8 ... so a VERY narrow DOF (on purpose).

This one is a little clearer, even on the conversion ... again, though, note the extremely narrow DOF.




Oh ... and I should add that I'm using a Canon T1i with various lenses: Canon EF 50/1.8, Tamron 28-75/2.8, Tammy, Canon EF-S 18-55 IS (kit lens), and Canon 50/1.8 (respectively). My Flickr stream is here (clicky).


EDIT: One more thing -- with the cat shots, I was shooting physically as close to the cat as my lens would allow (which further explains the DOF, probably). In the first shot, I may have gotten an inch too close.
