Thanks Bruce and Shel. I have never heard of the Japanese origin of
scosh, but I recognize that many US servicemen were stationed in Japan
after WWII and certainly during the Korean War. (My father and uncle
were among them.)

I have this hunch that the word came about during WWII - the Japanese
word sukoshi (pronounced just about like scosh), means "little" or
"small amount" - my thinking is that the GI's picked it up from there
and it wormed it's way into American english.

Both terms mean about the same, although smidgeon (sometimes spelled
smidgen) means a tiny, almost undetectable amount, is usually a scosh.

Scosh (or skosh) was picked up by American servicemen around the time of
the Korean War. It's derived from the Japanese word "sukoshi." The first
recorded use of the word was in 1951. It remained a chiefly military term
through the 1950s and '60s, and spread into more mainstream usage in the
'60s

How does it relate to a "smidgen"? More, less or about the same?

Well, I wouldn't say I'm the leader, but focus isn't as important to
me as it seems to be for others. To put it another way, a strong

Hah! It was a term made popular in advertising for blue jeans as the
baby boom generation began to get older. The jeans moved away from
the lean cowboy cut to a 'scosh more room' in the waist, hips, and
thighs...a fuller cut in the fabric.

Hi!
Doesn't really work for me, Boris.
It's not so much the softness of focus, but what the light seems to be
doing that I find bothersome. Hard to explain, but it seems that
there's light "coming around the edges" of some of the objects in the
frame, like the arm and shirt of the subject.

Hi!
It's just that "glow" that I find so enticing. Perhaps a scosh less might
be an improvement, but as it is, it lends an ethereal and diaphanous
quality to the photo, moving it away from the more typical photo and giving
the image a sense, or feel, beyond the subject matter and composition.
Hi!
Whooo, boy! I can't even read the headlines on that paper, it's so
soft! ;-)
Neither can I! ;-)

I don't do a lot of these reviews so take it with a
grain of salt.
I think the glow/glare of the paper distracts from the
whole image. It's super bright even though it's soft.
Just my two cents.

Hello, Boris ... I like this one quite a bit. The monochrome look - all in
brown tones - adds quite a bit to this image. Interesting composition as
well. Good work!
