Hum. Thanks for pointing that out. I shot from the car, yes window open.:-) Focus point was on the front of the bench and F stop was around 8, so there should have been some DOF there.
Not sure why this happened. I shot others with the lens that day, i;'ll have a look and see if its on them as well or this is just an isolated shot.
