It's my 85mm f/2 Nikkor LTM at /2.8: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/Enigmatic/Fowl_AMR.jpg .html><<<<<<< Hi Alan, Interesting you point this out. Thank you. As the background to me as I first looked at the photo was meaningless! My eyes, well the one good one went right to the birds without any re-action to the back ground. Maybe that's why I rarely pay attention to backgrounds, unless it's so bad one can't possibly miss the "whatever it maybe, causing a huge distraction. Or whatever?" My reaction has always been directly to what the "CONTENT IN THE PHOTO IS!" And if it's strong enough? Nickle and dime things as, weird light effects are never even noticed or concerned with. But once again we have a ten day babble session about "MIKE and his BOKEH" effects which will die down in a few more days and lie at rest for a 24 month peace and quiet. Only to raise its ugly head sooner or later. Oh well! :-) cheers, ted Alan Alan Magayne-Roshak, Senior Photographer University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Photo Services (Retired) UPAA Photographer of the Year 1978 UPAA Master of the Profession 2014 amr3 at uwm.edu <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/> "All the technique in the world doesn't compensate for an inability to notice.
