Funny picture, well done! Just one question : why did you choose to shoot at f/2.8 with an ND filter on, whereas you needed no shallow depth of field and could have shot at f/5.6 or f/8, without filter?
Thomas, you are right, it would make more sense in theory. Yet, I try to avoid mounting and unmounting the filter as much as I can since it is a significant loss of time and you can lose shots doing so. Usually, when sunny, I just leave it on all the time and shoot larger apertures. In the case of this picture, I don’t think F8 would have changed anything to the picture look.
