You are correct, it is what it is. I wasn't suggesting that you go retake it or anything like that. I guess "digital artifacts" was not the right word, it was more like "not really very smooth bokeh" or something like that. I think it's a wonderful evocative photo, that was just my one and only criticism of it is all. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
