Took my new 7D on 1st ride. Tried spot focusing through the fence 6 or 7 feet away.

thought it is more about colors textures and fence so posted here.
Any body want a full resolution pic for evaluation, just let me know. It was shot with 100mm macro 2.8 handheld at 1/200. A lot detail, at least for me.

    That's pretty darned good!

    …considering it was taken through a fence!

    You've almost gotten rid of the fence, although I'm sure you were as close as possible to (almost touching) the fence…

    …I'd have tried to get one with the fence in focus, and this great splurge of blue & peacock blobs in the BG (…just 'cos you're there, and what the hell! …max opportunity etc. :D )

    Nice job, though - and the eye is in focus - quite difficult with auto-focus; I'd have used manual…

    Thanks for sharing!

    Thank Will.
    I was 5 to 6 feet away from fence that was quite small. Here is shot with normal AF from same distance, and next is with spot AF enabled, the same image i have posted earlier.

    Congrats on the new camera, Awais! Nice work, especially through a fence.

    How do you take a photo with the focal points? I'm just curious. I love the effect because I really feel like I'm the one behind the lens :D

    Wow- what a beautiful display of color. Nice capture. The fence creates a 'compound eye' effect!

    I think DPP will show you the focus points. If so, then he's just posted screen shots.
