Well, there is always photoshop!

Even in this case I'd have nipped off the couple toward the lower right corner leaving the single one sharp and clean, yet slowly going out of focus to the top as shown. Yeah I know some folks are going to say that's cheating, nipping a couple out of the way, but heck it's done all the time and if it makes a major improvement to the photo why not nip it? ted _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
