Hard to find... Cute fellow... the 1st photo is good but the DOF for 2nd and 3rd seems not enough. You might want to try a different angle like side view.

Are you using the built in flash? Exposures looks harsh.

Hi Reno, thks for your feedback. Yes, don't quite understand why DOF is bad as I have set aperture to 7.1. Any idea why? Yes, I will try a different angle next time I see it again. Thks.

Hi Mrericlee, I used SB800 to shoot it. Guess I should have tried using a diffuser attached. Thks for your feedback.
