The bike hasn't been washed, but I think it helps with the overall "grittiness" I was looking for. Does it work?

Dust on black parts can help to separate them from the background. See the links in my Sig, and... Love the DOF link! Thanks! I'm actually having trouble figuring out how to include the EXIF. When I save for web, I have the box ticked that includes all but it doesn't show up.

I was kind of hoping the 1.4 would minimize the BG, but obviously not! Thanks for the comment!
