Just a tip. A lot of people try to get the best quality photograph by using their best aperture and base ISO but don't realize how important shutter speed can be. Even when shooting still objects like this. 90th isn't too slow but if you really go in and pixel peep I bet you the results will be sharper at f5.6 with a faster shutter speed. Just don't get in the habit of using a shutter speed just fast enough because you will come to find that dropping your aperture and/or raising ISO will save you from getting a blurry unusable photograph. The difference in image quality from f8 to f5.6 or from iso200 to 400 is far less than the image quality difference from, say, 100th to 50th a second, and even from 200th to 100th.

Here is a little guide, assuming you don't want motion/blur portrayed in the photograph.
Still object 125th up, still people/outdoor objects affected by wind 200th up, moving/walking people 250th up, children/animals 400th up, action to/from 750th up, action side to side 1000th up.
