Of course you should be here, Ann! I agree that more blur in the corn would be nice, but it's shot wide open, so that's as good as it gets without manipulation. And I usually don't like artificial blur in backgrounds, plus doing it right is a lot of work.. The magazine art directors will have their way with it anyway, probably strip it out or do something horrid to it. The car owners who buy prints are happy if their car is sharp, and I don't charge enough to warrant lots of post manipulation.
