Yeah, the guy munching one the sandwich (I keep telling myself it's an Italian Sandwich of some sort, in keeping with the festivities) is my least favourite part of the shot. When I first looked at the little teeny contact, I hoped maybe he was taking his kid's photo, but one look through the loupe dashed that possibility. I thought about cropping out his head, then thought better of it, as it would have left a headless torso. It would have also cut off the folks in the background, who are, I think, in important part of the image. So, I left sandwich dad in there, warts and all. All part of the fun, I suppose.
