Paul, I had real difficulty deciding on this shot.  I couldn't decide 
whether I wanted to take a portrait with soft OOF background or a sunset 
with silhouette face in foreground, so I took both sequentially, seconds 
apart, moving slightly to change the placement of the rocks and adjusting 
focus and exposure.   After seeing the results, I like both for different 
reasons...still can't decide what I want!  In PAW context, I chose to 
relegate the portrait to Alt1 status because I have taken an awful lot of 
what I think are very nice shots of my wife, and I try my best not to foist 
them too much on others.  But I will put this one in my office.

Thanks for taking the time to look and comment,
Aaron
