Jim mon ami,
For openers I'd like to say.. "I wish I shot that!" :-)

One stop down should give you a slightly greater depth of field. At least 
I'd think so. The same for sharpness? It may appear so,  but probably only 
slightly in any event. I think in this kind of face  to face situation you 
are either going to be "right on the mark!" As it appears you are. Or it'll 
be out of focus as is the case when using long glass and you're either on or 
not! It shows quite obviously!

You just keep hitting the button like you did on this one and I'm sure 
you're going to be a happy camper with your log lens results. AND! You'll 
become much better being on the mark the more you shoot this kind of 
situations.

You'll eventually find a "comfort zone" with the critters and the ease of 
handling the gear and your success rate will climb quite dramatically. "Good 
hunting!" :-)
cheers,
ted
