It's a little soft at the top, but that the price you pay for high aperture.

Large aperture.

Confusing that lower f numbers mean a larger aperture, but meh.

i think it might have been better if you had focused on the Bulova in at the top of the face because right now it's hard to tell what youre actually trying to focus on. that's just me though

just use a smaller aperture, F4 or 5.6

if i had used a smaller aperture #, it would have had even less depth of field. plus, i did the lowest that the shitty kit lens can do.

Right, okay, stop saying "smaller aperture number". Photographers refer to apertures as larger (or wider, or bigger, or whatever) or smaller (..narrower, etc. The actual adjective doesn't really matter), they don't refer to higher or lower aperture numbers. We only refer to the numbers as numbers when we're explaining to newbies how a higher number means a smaller aperture. When you say an aperture's smaller or bigger, you should be referring to the actual diameter of the hole, not the number that gives the ratio of the diameter of the hole to the focal length of the lens.

So when he said for you to use a smaller aperture, he was NOT saying a smaller aperture NUMBER, he was saying a smaller aperture.

Of course, to confuse matters, he didn't check the aperture in the picture. So he gave both a value smaller (f/5.6) and larger (f/4) than the f/4.5 you used. What he ought to have said was "just use a smaller aperture. f/5.6 or f/8"

Good, I was going for "helpful" but was afraid I was going to come through more as "Complete jackass". Glad to see you were able to see through my assholeishness. :)

Glad you learned something new.
