Focal length is all wrong here, the tractor is out of focus.

Incredible. I right clicked image, "search Google for image" and presto. First time I did that for an image. Definitely more details on the bike. Tractor, alas, was not the focal point.

Right. You're trying to tell me the first thing that caught your eye was not an attempt to ID that fuzzy image of a 4WD tractor in the background.

Speaking of distractions, puppies - they'll steal the show every time.

(BTW, that's Norma Jeane Baker on the bike)

And since it's my birthday this weekend, I'll also splurge, with this:

That's exactly what I am saying. I am told there is a bicycle in the photo but I am still sceptical.
