Hi Nathan,
I bet 110% of viewers never saw the pole!!!! Why? Well hell man the content 
of the laugh completely over rides looking at anything else in the frame!

Once again pointing up what I say is the most important part....... "THE 
CONTENT!" And here is a perfect example of the content... "laugh is so 
strong in the expression!" it works just as it should! Captures and holds 
the viewers eyes right on the mark, not allowing the eyes to roam around a 
loosely shot image!

I'd never mention the pole again simply because it isn't there unless you 
tell people to look for it! Even then it's hardly noticeable!

cheers,
ted
