Not to sound sexist, but not used properly, this eye sensor autofocus might
get well focused breasts in a case like this if the photographer happened
to be male and was not paying attention to where he was looking when the
shutter was pressed.  Since most of the photo adds do use sexism to their
advantage, can I assume the female pool player was fairly good looking?
