Response to My Dad the Hoodlum

Depending on the extent of the blur and the image itself, I have been mostly enthused with the selective focus photographs. Particularly with people. I'd much rather have most of the photograph blurry with the focus of attention sharp, than have all the photograph sharp as a tack. The exception to this is with wide angle, 20mm and below in the 35mm format where the effect of the wide angle is more important than selective focus. In my view, though, you just can't beat the pleasant angle of view with the good 'ol 50mm lens. My shot here would have looked better at f/4 maybe.
