I have a macro lens I've barely ever used. I tried it out shooting way up close on the birds. The depth of field effects are interesting and challenging. I'd be happier if my focal point in this image were just a hair to the right, centered on Casper's eye instead of just the back of her eye. But I like the photo quite a lot.
In her eye you can also see the perfect reflection of the big new octabox softbox I was using for my mainlight. It's interesting, and not sure if I like that big a catchlight or not.
