 I probably should have repositioned the paperdoll chain to get the one with the dark blob on the head out of view. :-/ Oh well, can't reshoot it now...it's dark outside. I'm really enjoying the shallow DOF of this "new" Sears 55mm/1.4 lens I picked up (it's actually about 40 years old). :-)

Oh, and yes, I've done this setup before, for the 'Paper' challenge ==>

Is there a message in the Beatle Bailey, "same old train of thought?"
