I am curious about this first one - it looks like Gaussian blur to me. The mother carrying the child looks more out of focus than the woman on the right in the foreground. If the focus point were the little girl, coming forward the mother(?) should be a little bit blurred and the woman in the foreground a lot more. If it's really a telephoto, the perspective might be compressed (and the girl held aloft by someone else), but that still doesn't explain why the middle woman is so much *less* sharp than the one on the right. I don't think telephotos would produce fields that curved. The second photo looks a little more natural. > > i gotta start using slower film so i can open up.... Why not an ND8 filter? Dante
