Oh where has the art of darning gone .... you're right about the focus, but I like it nevertheless, even with the focus on the other heel. I like the pine needles on the sidewalk.
You're getting a lot of mileage out of that lens and this is another great example. I know how hard it is to get kids to stand still; many of my trick or treating shots are blurring from low light and running kids.
Hope to see you in the Dec Slice of Life challenge!
