Yeah, it's too bad that one can't see what the notice says, or at least see that there are words on it, even if not legible. Still I think I've seen better compositions from > you.

Actually, I was disappointed on how soft it was - I was zone focusing at the time, which is what I usually do when walking, then once I've gotten one quick shot (if need be) I open up the aperture and focus. However, in this case, I only took the one shot. On the print, she's soft, and the bra shop is sharper. The softness doesn't bother me much, though, since I caught the moment that I more or less wanted to, but I do wish I'd have taken more shots of that scene. Thanks for your thoughts, Peter, they're much appreciated. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
