I want that bone to fill much more of that frame. And I want the horizon straight.  Were you limited by lens?

I was crouching on the ground but couldn't lie down because it was soaked, hence the wonky horizon.  The field was also on a slope too which didn't help judgement there. The horizon can be sorted in photoshop though.

I had my wide angle lens on this and was hoping to find a way to fill the frame more with the bones but it didn't work.  I didn't want to go putting my kit down in the mud to change lens.  What lens would have worked better?

What's the minimum focusing distance on that lens? What would have been useful here is a tripod that closer bring the camera up closer and lower, together with a wide angle that focuses up nice and close, stopped down to get the depth of field if you wanted it. I can see what you were trying to do which is why the shot annoys me.

It would have been an easy shot with the GR-D: 28mm lens that focuses 1cm away with huge depth of field and shiftable focus point - and there's generally a tabletop tripod in my bag that would have done nicely!

Off the top of my head I'm not sure, but I wasn't able to get in quite close enough and still get a good focus to make the bones more prominent.

I will have to practice on your advice.
