I'm glad you liked it, and the color is very nice, I agree. Just too bad I didn't get just a tiny bit more DOF for his face. Not making excuses, it is what it is, but shooting manual with manual flash settings and trying to control exposure did make me lose track of my aperture setting. Viewing the LCD in the sunlight won't tell you much, if anything, and the histogram won't give you the DOF. This is one of those cases where a really good photographer will have all those things in mind and will check every setting throughout the shooting period, unlike someone like me that gets excited about getting an opportunity and quickly forgets to check his settings.
Best Regards!
