Meet my son, Aljaz

Here is a tight one of him. I was actually testing different setups. ISO 1000 as it was getting dark. My opinion is it is focused just a bit too much in front and slightly overexposed. I tried my best with highlights in PS and family likes it! That's all that matters.

EXIF is present and here is the main part:
Nikon D80, Sigma 70-200/2.8 macro, 90 mm, ISO 1000, f/5, 1/200", +2/3 EV, A, Pattern metering.

 

I was surprised also. Since then I've shot a lot of images at 1000 and I am not surprised anymore. They are usable, some of them even great.

I guess you might be right about exposure. I took a second look at it and the nose doesn't seem so much blown out. Maybe it was just my other display?
