I think personally you are making a mountain out of a mole hill... at the end of the day, none of us were there, we have no idea why , what or for what ever reason the pic turned out like this or how many other media snappers were there contesting for a pic,,.... but it ran in the paper.... SO WHAT..... maybe , just maybe us hobbists / amateurs are WAY tooooooooooo focused on the apparent text book correct way a so called image is and should be taken , and trying to find fault in what professionals do every day. But at the end of the day we have so much time to fiddle and fix our pictures we make in photoshop before presenting them on here . Newspaper snappers dont, in out and file to a very time conscious sub editor, pic editor .... then again they are full time and we only dream about being so.... my 5c
