You hit on just the places I kept fiddling with. When I put these pictures up on Facebook, for the proprietors and attendees, I used a tighter crop for this one, especially on the left -- I cut it off right about where the man's back (and he works there -- I'm not sure, but I think the boy's dad may be the shadowy figure at the right) meets the little muffin thing. Of course, with Facebook's postage-stamp-sized maximum picture size, tight crops help allow people's faces to be large enough to read. When I put the picture up on photos.bazbarfoo.com, I loosened the crop up a little to try to let things "breathe" -- partially because I fear I'm sometimes a little too tight-assed in my cropping -- and let the left edge of the white jar survive, although at the cost of some visual clutter on the left. I'll stick a tighter crop and a B&W version up in the LUG gallery when I get a few minutes. Thanks for your interest. -Jeff
