Thanks, Ken .... very pleased that you like the shot. As for perfection, well, the world is an imperfect place. I got rid of a blemish on one or two of the leaves, but wanted the OOF area as a social statement to show the imperfect reality in which we live while alluding to the idea that some concepts are a little fuzzy, blurry, or indistinct - that you can find imperfections in and amongst beauty, while the dark background implies that beauty can be found even in darkest, most inhospitable, places. <LOL>

He probably wanted this to show perfect and so did I. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
