In other words, if it were possible see an unending mass of people edge to edge 360, it would appear to be an endless mass. Then the "packed in like sardines" effect would be limitless. The only other reason I could see why you picked this frame was the lady who appears to be looking at you and the kid with the binoculars. right? The alternate doesn't do a thing even though the guys are close to you it doesn't have the same packed feeling as the PAW with it's open escaping corners. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
