Me too I therefore often take several shots with different f-stops in these cases. This time, I was there with my wife on a garden fair, so I just took a quick shot. I wanted the stucture of the garden in the background to be recognizable, so I stepped down quite a bit (too much). Hmm, I think I might revisit this shot after upgrading to PS CS6...
