Some of the photos seem to have a very narrow depth of field, while others are spot on for focus.

What kind of lens are you using?

 

[SlipperKing]

Nice Phrag in the bunch!

Yeah I'm sorry about that. I'm using an AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G on automatic. One or two of the pictures I took off auto for macro shot and forgot to put back on auto focus. And also sometimes the auto focus doesn't quite focus exactly where I want. I need to take time and study the manual and get away from this auto stuff and go back to the days of 35mm and manual camera settings, which I can still do with my full auto camera, I'm just lazy and auto is OH so easy.
