Hi Sonny,
First re-action? And I hate to say it to an experienced photographer like
yerself, however mon ami........ You focused in the wrong place!!! :-(

I know I may well rue the day saying that when you get one on me, but I find
all those out of focus people in the foreground just too disturbing! /
distracting!

I'd have focused on the near people and let everything drop away from there
rather than reaching part way into the crowd in an out-in-out areas of
focus.

The out of focus folks in the near foreground create a visual distraction,
that if they were in focus then dropping away to the complete background it
would've made the crowd look even greater.

OK old buddy come back. ;-)
