the image smith from Thunder Bay, Canada

Sorry for all the confusion.

I had problems when I was uploading this image as a result of juggling some other images to other dates and the effects of page caching. The net result was that this image was uploaded to two different days. I decided to remove the image on 2007-08-09 because this one has a link to it at Photo Friday.

Below is a comment that was mae on the other version.

COOL, wish it focussed

Dimitrios, if you happen to see this reply. I wish it was clearer too. The problem stemmed from leaving my camera settings from a previous landscape shot. When I quickly shoot this image, the shutter speed was still 1/15sec (f36). This combined with an effective focal length of 96mm and subject movement resulted in a softly focused image.
However, I do like the colours and the texture of the water. The subject blur also adds a bit of an abstract quality to the image that I think helped to suggest the idea of play. When I have a chance, I will post a variation on this image where the subject is moving towards the camera and therefore there is less blur to get your feed back.

Thanks for your comment.
