		Tina,

		I disagree with your comment (below).  In the altered,
composite photo, the soldier is not pointing his gun at the father and
child.  It rather shows him pointing his gun sideways, to his right, and
more or less along the plane of the photograph, while the father and child
are approaching him from his left.  This is also the soldier's orientation
in of one of the original photos, of course, although in that one, the
father and child are a bit farther away and do not seem to be headed toward
him.  It is the other original photo, not the composite one, that has the
soldier pointing his gun at an angle slightly back from the plane of the
photograph, and therefore somewhat more in the direction of the more distant
father and child.

		I totally disagree.  It changed the entire intent of the
photo.  In the 
		original two photos, the soldier is not pointing a weapon at
the father 
		carrying the child.  In the composite photo he is.  The
difference in the 
		two photos is astounding to me.
