Chip & Dale Are So Happy (#2) - a photo on Flickriver

            I've posted a similar – Chip & Dale with Castle in the background – shot before, but I think this is an improvement on it.  I shot this with a 70-200mm f/2.8 with it all the way out at 200mm and wide open to f/2.8.  I did this to create an extremely shallow depth of field and compress the background so that it was just the castle.  One of the things I love about photography and always learning is that I see a way I can improve on this shot even yet.  If I were going to shoot it again I'd use the same focal length but increase the aperture (or decrease, however you want to look at it) to about f/5.6 or f/8 so that the entirety of both Chip & Dale are in focus and this would also make the castle slightly more recognizable.
