Probably not for the money.. :)

How cute is this little fella by the way.... but I bet he wants to kill you when you gets to display at his 21st!

That's what the lens is good at. Few photographers exploit its real capabilities and I always get a buzz when I see an example. Nice image.

Sorry to be ignorant but which lens did you actually use for this and at what aperture?
