What an idiot - I meant larger aperture - smaller f/stop.

hi Bob, thanks for ur review and comment. Regarding your suggestion of using a smaller apperture, since I was shooting with a cheap EF zoom any apperture below f8 doesn't give me a sharp one. I have one L series lens which makes grt images even at f4 (max appertur is 2.8). I used the flash to dim the back ground and the tree in the back is actualy a small bush quite far from the heron. The 300mm lens compressed the perspective such that it appears to be really close behind her. Alhtough I agree with you about there being no real substitute for a shallow DOF. Thanks for ur comment and help :).

Technical Details: To those who are interested. Took me a while before I started making decent pictues. Often people get too hung up over trivial matters such as shutter/apperture speeds, those are not that important because if you calculate them by hand then you already know what you want. I usually pick apperture and let the computer calculate exposure.. I have learned from experience that it's better at it than I.
While studying Fiona I made a couple of observations. It was early morning (real early) and the light wasn't harsh yet so notice there are no hard shadows. Although if you have hard shadows let no one tell you you're a bad photographer.
To make this one I used a long lens to pull the little bush in the back close to the fiona. And used the flash in slow sync.

Very nice - but I think a smaller aperture would have kept the heron sharp and blurred the background a bit more. The tree trunks are a little bothersome.
