Alastair,

My immediate reaction when looking at this shot, before I even read
this message, was "yes", there is too much that is out of focus.

But it might be because the image fills up my screen and I have to
scroll to see all of it, and the part that is in focus is what I have
to scroll to. The screen is first filled with the out of focus part of
the image. So that _might_ be why I reacted the way I did ... I didn't
see the image all at once, but only after scrolling.

Sitting at a laptop today.

Daniel
