Steve,
This is one of those pictures that has such a "nice feel to it" that out of
focus as little as it is isn't worth looking at, thinking about nor
mentioning.

Yep a tad sharper on Luka's face would've been better. It isn't, so no big
deal simply because " the FEEL" of the scene is so strong. This one falls
 into the category of, " if HCB had taken it everybody would pee their pants
drooling over it!"

Hell if we were to discard every non-perfectly in focus in the right place
of HCB's a number of them would be deleted. As would many of those of the so
called greats!

Gut feelings have far more to do with successful photography than all the
perfect in focus, maximized techie things in the world can achieve!

it's a KEEPER for a very very long time!:-) Well done!

ted
