Nice shot, Freddie: good comp, focus, f-stop, bokeh. The soft look you refer to is due low light and a fairly high ISO (guessing), which puts some noise in the bokeh, but I don't think it is a problem.

Thank you, Vincent.  Nice to meet you!
  Yes, I liked the depth of field.  It seems to unravel in layers.  Cheers,   Freddy

  Thanks , Mike. I'm thinking about strapping on my FA 28-105 lens.  I had wanted one for so long and this classic lens did not disappoint me.  It takes wonderful pictures and I'm missing it.  Nice to hear from you, always.      Freddy

Can someone help me, please.   I can't find my link to the Pentax Photo Gallery that I understand has been re-instated.  Can't even find a log-in
 page.    Thanks, Freddy
