[Leica] IMG: General Tire

[images at comporium.net (Tina Manley)]

Thanks, Ted!!  The only reason I was even looking at the dreaded bokeh was
to try and dtermine which camera and lens I had used.  The out of focus
background did not look like my normal Noctilux so I figure this one was
made with my R6.2 and the 80/1.4.  I do like a nice oof background without
disturbing swirls and circles that detract from the main subject - the
man's face.  I could use some Gaussian Blur on the background and solve
that problem though!

I always appreciate your comments.
