Can you guess?
The photo posted below shows an interesting perspective. It shows a rock with a blurred background and thats about it. So the question is....

WHAT IS YOUR GUESS ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE ROCK?

judging by how extreme the background is blurred, i would say your shooting the object about 3 inches from your lens, and the size of the stone is likely the size of a nickel?

no giving away of any hint as yet. the pic came out of the box untouched and no editing was done whatsoever.

Lol. Nice foto editing, Trance.
Sal, that's quite a zoom lens.
