you are correct - 1st one is blurred, or rather not focused - at least 1pixel out on this small sized image.
Go try FocusMagic (trial) and just see what it does for you - I use it all the time
hey - like the photos!!
My! you have been having fun - great ideas. I think we are now moving into PhArt (Photo Art) and being able to express ourselves and really tell a story with an image.
Great inspiration to us all
Thanks
