D. B.D., Yeah, I would have liked for some football players to have been behind him in a pleasant bokeh-fog, but alas . . . I had watched the guy for several minutes because of the character of his face, and extremely expressive looks. I never could get a clear shot of him, (he was five rows in front of my seat,) until that touchdown, when he stood and turned to talk to someone behind him. While I was waiting, I considered a wider shot, but the football field was so reflective a backlight that I was afraid I could not pull off a proper skin exposure, so I opted for the tighter shot. One reason I always try to caption my pictures is to put them into context. Sometimes they don't need it, but I see other people's PAWs sometimes leave me wanting so more information, so I always try to put some words there to bring the context into as much focus as I can.
