Exactly. In some situations, not having shallow depth of field ruins a picture because the color of the subject and background are so close together that they can't be seen properly if the background is sharp. It's not just an esthetic function, it's a practical reality as well. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Maintenance-free: When it breaks, it can't be fixed
