[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 145987, member: 6277"] You shot one of these at f8. Which at this distance is still going to be a very narrow Depth of Field. The one shot a f18 is a little better. With a zoom you might not be able to get the entire cacti in focus. Do a little research on Depth of Field with that lens. Assuming that you are 1.5 feet away from the subject. At 58mm where you were on these photos. and at f18 which was your smallest aperture your DOF would be.
