And yes, just to place where I am along this spectrum, I find I am usually offended by unintended unsharpness in a photograph! Len -- And your position on unintentional sharpness? As I sit here looking at what you wrote, I'm wondering just what does offend you. (Probably this question, though it is not meant to.) -- I see lots of photographs that have the life taken out of them by formal composition, adherance to someone's rules on how a photographer should behave, and just plain old lack of imagination. I post lots of flawed shots but I like them, and I see lots of photos that thrill me while they plain old just ignore the rules. Language can be like that too. -- Regards, -- Sonny _http://www.sonc.com_ (http://www.sonc.com/)
