DPR, is this with just the tammy or did you have extension tubes too? You're in there close. Also, what are you lighting this with? It turned out wonderful.

I could tell you but I wouldn't want you to get all pissy if it's the wrong brand

No I don't own extension tubes. I'm finding my DOF is too shallow for my tastes often around 1:1. So I'm playing around with being a bit further back and using digital crop to increase my DOF.
I'm still so new I have to experiment and find what I like. Instead of digital cropping I could try a smaller aperture but as Rooz warned me I do find I'm not as sharp if I go too small on the apperture either.
Re lighting she kept crawling inside the bundle of leaves I pulled off the bush so I shot through surrounding leaves into the centre of the bundle where she was.
On cam pop up at -0.3 and one SB600 firing in from 90deg through a gap in the leaves. Manual 1/350 sec (since I handhold) and F16 for some DOF but still being sharp.

shallow dof is your friend and your enemy with dslr. the majority are at f9, 180mm. its very easy to get suh a shallow dof, even with a 50/1.4 at 1.4 the dof is very limited indeed.
