These are quite interesting because the f6.3 version is 
more pleasing to my eye for some reason.  I think it's 
because the main subject is sharper and the fact that 
though the background is less of a smeary blur than the 
f4.5 version, it certainly doesn't make it less attractive 
or more distracting in this case.  It's a very nice 
setting, Wayne, and I'm kind of amazed at how much the 
difference affects me.

But I suppose one would have to say that the f4.5 shot 
has "better bokeh" in the background because there is more 
blur (bokeh literally means "blur", right?).  But I sure 
like the f6.3 version a lot better.

See, this thing is hurting my head ...
