1) Shel's right: nice bokeh, 2) That's a nice relaxed, natural look on her face (in part due to the fact she probably had no idea she was being photographed <g>), 3) I don't know if it's the wind, or that she did that "head flip" thing that women with that type of hair seem so adept at, or maybe a bit of both, but to me, the hair makes the photo, 4) You're right, she ~is~ very pretty - that helps the photo a lot, too... <vbg> Nice one, Paul, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
