Holy crap. I hate you Frank I consider myself a bug and flower guy, I'd be well chuffed with myself if I had taken that. As Paul said it's in focus where it needs to be, but the background is truly "Theriaultian" :-) Great effort for your first time at bat. Dave S On 5/30/05, frank theriault

Frank, Something is wrong with your vision. The tulip is IN focus! I can even see little water drops on it. Makes me want to reach out and touch it. The remaining tulips are hansomely out of focus. Very nice. My only suggestions... I'd like to get that back tulip not to overlap the front, in f

Frank, it looks like you are inventing a new technique - painting with OOF. Hell, it looks you took a very uncharacteristically sharp photo of a black tulip in front of a painting (aquarelle perhaps) of black tulips. If hard pushed to find something that could be improved, I'd say that having the
