Hi Joel,
Just to be honest, I read Ken and Moose's responses before I had a chance to
respond to your comment. Yes, a vision of what one wants will make the
image more successful. But, the distance of background objects, and the way
a given lens renders highlights in the background will both come into play
in the final result.
