And by the way, I'm not into politics. Nice catch though Kate!!! Thank you too #2060218Darryl Wilkinson November 10, 2005

For the people who wrote "nice DOF" I hope you're smart enough to realize that it's not DOF, he wrote that he applied gaussian blur. he probably had bad DOF, didn't like it, the blurred it in photoshop to his liking.otherwise nice work Darryl, and beautiful tones. congrats. #2264810
