That D700 seems to have a focus problem. Perhaps you should have it
checked.

Other than the focus, the composition and lighting are spectacular. It's
beautiful the way you organized the colors for the complimentary effects.
It almost appears that you used a color wheel to get just the right
spectrum overall.

Perhaps a little more attention to the depth of field would have helped.
Does the D700 have a depth of field preview button? Sometimes it's useful.

It's a snapshot of a couple of housepets napping and sort of napping on
their couch, Herring. That's all it is. Handheld, 1/15th of a second,
f/2.8, lens at 60mm, natural room lights. Not being an alcoholic, I can
handhold a camera at fairly low shutter speeds and get results that are
pleasing enough to the eye.

Your opinion matters naught to me.

Well, that was nice. I find handheld is usually quite appropriate for
pictures of pets. Getting out and setting up the tripod seems kind of a
waste. Checking your depth of field is sometimes a good thing to do,
especially when shooting at f/2.8.

I'm glad to hear you're not an alcoholic. That was nice of you to share
that information.
