Good effort, Bob.  I wish I could do as well, and that my wife would  
be more tolerant of my hamfistedness when it comes to people shots.

I prefer the more realistic one, yours.  You might warm it a tiny  
amount, but the third party effort is too contrived in my view;  
they've gone too far.

And what a lovely lady!
