I agree with Wulf, this DOF is very nice. I like the branches closest to the robin in focus. The branches farther back are pleasantly blurred... and the ones that are focused don't distract at all.
I also agree with the experimenting. Take your tripod and a notepad... and snap away at a bunch of settings... taking notes on everything (like how you acheived focus, since that won't show in EXIF, and how far between camera, subject and background) then compare and keep notes on which you liked best!
