	I am curious about how much work has been done to determine
what is the least unpleasant-looking image degradation.
Image-compression software/hardware can then be optimized to produce
that kind of degradation if an image has to be seriously degraded to
keep the compressed volume down.

	I got my idea on what one might shoot for as I was reading
some railroad books which featured some excellent photography. Diesel
locomotives produce clear (most of the time!) and hot exhaust, and
looking through produces noticeable blurring. However, at least in the
pictures I saw, there was plenty of area not in the line of sight of
the exhaust, which provided good control areas.

	Any other "natural" examples?
