Other than the cropping and perhaps the panning of this shot i think it's pretty good. Again, the depth of field is quite good here too.

Well done.

I was attempting depth of field actually. I wasn't sure how exactly the setting was supposed to be. I kept changing, and all of it doesn't look much different. Thanks, Craig. I think I used auto.

Yeah, R_T, it was dark in the room. And it was automatic flash i guess. Without flash?, I think i would need manual settings? Not sure how to get a nice shot with manual at the moment. I doubt i would ever use it...actually.

To control DOF you're going to need to use a larger (as in, smaller number) aperture. Although this will depend on your lens, for great DOF on close ups like that you're going to want anything from f/2.8 to f/1.4.

I know, But we can't control that, can we?

lol
You sure can
You can either use manual mode or Aperture Priority mode (usually represented as Av on your dial)
