Nicely done, Juan! Beautiful photos, as always, too! :D I have many, many photos made with small sensor cameras. When I shoot with them, I think of shooting with my Minox 8x11 film cameras: so much DoF that you don't think about it, the lens is always wide open at f/3.5 (or f/5.6 in the case of the EC)..
https://flic.kr/p/2hKjQ6b You frame and expose based on the whole scene, not just the primary subject. It's a different mindset from the "ultra-shallow DoF" look that seems so popular in recent years. Hmm. I'm headed off to Chicago for four days to conduct some business. I was debating on what camera to take along … don't want to carry much. Now I think I'll just load up a Minox and slip that into my pocket. Thanks!
