Thanks for the compliment. They weren't really looking at the camera.
They were looking at me since I was talking to them continuously and

I was using the Tokina 28-80/2.8 at 70-80mm, f/3.5 and 1/400 second. I
don't think I could have used a manual focus lens and wide aperture.
They do not sit still and are constantly bobbing back and forth.
