 This is one of my favorite photos.  Taken long ago with a Spotmatic.

 I missed the focus.  They ran from a brightly lit part of the yard
 into shadow and I didn't react fast enough so the original was
 underexposed.  Just think, if I had the fancy auto-focus,
 auto-exposure camera of today it would be be a technical masterpiece!
 Well, probably not.  More likely it would be mis-focused and poorly
 exposed in a different way.

   I scanned it from a 13 year old faded slide, cropped it, tried to fix
 the exposure, and cloned out a bunch of junk that was cluttering up
 the yard.

 Anyway, as technically poor as it is, this photo has always been and
 continues to be a favorite because of the content. I'm going to make a
 small print.  It will make a nice addition to the family photos that
 hang on the wall.

Agreed.  My daughter visited this morning.  The little guy is her son.
 She hadn't seen the photo for several years.  She requested a print.
That's the real test.  That generation seldom asks for prints any
more.

George, honestly I think a photo like that defies and and supersedes any 
technical issues. Technical perfection can sometimes be sterile.
