Your wife is quite beautiful. The dog's not bad, either <vbg>. One's named Aileen and the other is Sandy; I'm guessing Aileen is your wife (but I could be wrong). Whatever, I just hate to keep referring to her as "your wife" if she has a name <g>. Beyond both animals' beauty, I think it's a wonderful photo. Nice tight crop works very well, and as you said, it's neat the way Sandy's in focus and Aileen is OOF. The rest of the bokeh is nice and smooth, too. I like it a lot. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
