      Thanks -- it's really stunning. When I do the reshoot, I'm going to zoom in on the hind legs because they have that cool, greenish flare. Posted 3 years ago

        Great! Whilst at it, I advise to increase the aperture value. f/5.6 gives a pretty shallow depth of field. In a fully steady situation like this, there's no reason not to raise it significantly. I'd say about f/16 in this case. Posted 3 years ago
