Ditto ditto The photographer probably had a long lens and was in the middle of a pool of other photogs - it may have been one of a number of shots. It might not even be the best in the series. But conceptually and editorially it sure works. I'd have wanted W to be even more out of focus for aesthetic reasons, and would have liked to have been in a position to have gotten essentially the same shot but without quite so much blank space at top left. But he nailed it from an editorial aspect. Bear in mind, too, Igor, that the caption writer is not the photog. But in these days of quick turn around and sending in your digital shots over the internet, The photographer probably had more control than he would ahve had he been turning in a batch of film - so all credit goes to him or her :) ann
