[Leica] IMG "buds"

I agree - on discovering the picture I thought: "Well, I would never 
have dared this, focusing on the sweater and on the bear, and not on the 
face, what a strange portrait." But I also said, I must try this, it works!

Thanks Steve, very fine portrait, the out of focus face brings life into 
the whole picture.Maybe a little softer on the collar, but that's trivial.
Thanks for sharing
