Don't pay any attention to Ken {:c), it's a nice effect, that distance
blur. Causes you to focus (ha, a play on words) on the center. Actually
Ken may be right about something there, the blurring seems extreme to
me. Oops, there I go, getting negative.
But I'm jealous of it since I don't have a program with that ability.
Wouldn't have known that was the same "orb". Looks more like a pearl
now.
Btw, what is with the aliasing artifacts at mid-bottom on the jade-like
tiles edge? I don't see similar anywhere else.
