You are right, Indie. This was shot at f/8, and it was bright enough that I could have easily gone to f/11 or even f/16. I think the reason I stuck with f/8 was that it was hand held and the shutter speed was only 1/200th of a second at that aperture. I was probably too lazy to go up to the house to get my tripod and screw around with it to get the camera pointed straight up. :D It was also fairly windy this week and so there likely would have been motion blur on the leaves and branches if I'd gone with a significantly smaller aperture (and longer shutter speed).

Excuses, excuses. Haha..
