The centre of the pan is of course arbitrary because the ends meet up... but choosing where to put it is very hard. In this case the building on the right facing 'in' begs to be the right hand side, which puts that big carousel in the centre. I tried a few other orientations but they all looked a bit arbitrary. I did a few other pans here which may be more satisfying. - -- John Brownlow http://www.pinkheadedbug.com
