Thks for the kind words, Paul. Sometimes I'm a little slow, especially wrt what some people see in some of my photos. What more might it be other than a pic of a sign? When first seen, the shape jumped out at me, then the relationship between the pepperoni's on the pizza and the dots on the awni

Well seen. Nice framing. Excellent perspective/DOF. The context makes it more than a picture of a sign. Paul On Jul 17, 2005, at 1:28 PM, Shel Belinkoff wrote: Saw this in downtown San Francisco yesterday while waiting to meet a friend from the list ... http://home.earthlink.net/~pdml-pics/pi

I like it Shel. I love the smooth OoF background, which makes the sign pop out. I have to ask, so please don't yell at me if you find my question blasphemous / insulting . Has the shot been reworked in PS using the lens blur filter?. If not I'm really impressed with the bokeh. Neat shot. Dave

Shel, Fun shot for me. The DOF behind the cutout is just about right to not only make it stand out, but still shows good context and almost seems to emphasize the cartoonish nature of the cutout. Almost like seeing something in Roger Rabbit movie with a mix of cartoons and real people. -- Best
