to paint a blur is not the same thing as that thing or image being out of focus itsmerely the simulation of an effect - where in photography because it is a mechanical process that depends on lens and focusing them a photographic image may be blurred

Indeed, the difference between a hard-edge and a soft edge is very important in certain schools of painting. But you already knew that -- didn't you ? >unlike photography, painting can never be out of focus, ____________________________________________________________ Save $15 on Flowers and Gifts from FTD!
