Thanks, Dave, Unfortunately, the cup to which you refer isn't particularly sharp (even for me <g>). The tall glasses (that's a regular Jet Fuel latte glass, BTW - $3Cdn - none of this "tall" or "grande" crap there... <g>) are in focus, and the folks in the background are more or less as well. The white cup is also a bit blown out for my tastes, but he burned it on printing, and it now looks a bit better than on the neg. I have another shot taken seconds before where the cup is perfectly exposed, but then the people are way too dark - I opted for the people being properly exposed, plus in this frame, they seem to be more engaged in the convo. Anyway, thanks again for looking. Just a quick grab at my favourite coffee shop - take enough, and something semi-interesting will turn up... <vbg> cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
