By your SBS author...I see the focus problem here, Nice attempt, but there is either too much material making the hole deeper than it needs to be, or the hole is entirely too large. A very tiny hole increases the DOF to nearly infinity by giving an effective f/stop of about f/88-f/176

I know what you mean, I have tried some more and will upload one later, but I still can't get them sharp. despite having a much thinner material and a minuscule hole.
On a bright day I'm having exposures of 6-8sec at ISO 200, so I'm sure my hole is very small. Just a careful pin prick.

Great, but the singer that came to my mind was 'Tiny Tim'

You might be right, this one was what i found on the net

Beautiful color!

I'm probably older than you. he was popular in 1986
"Herbert Buckingham Khaury[1], better known by his stage name Tiny Tim, (April 12, 1932 – November 30, 1996) was an American singer and ukulele player. He was most famous for his rendition of "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" sung in a distinctive high falsetto/vibrato voice"

Thank you for the info Friis When I was young I mostly heard this song in other languages than english.

LOL... I remember Tiny Tim on "Laugh In" (and other shows). One wierd dude. Nice shot. I like it a lot... maybe just a smidge more left at the top (teeny, tiny bit - I like the close crop)

Thanks, kyricom

very nice shot author...best of luck
