Boris, yours and other people's comments are greatly appreciated. The first one, (which was voiced by a few other PDMLers) - confirms something that I was worrying about. On another hand, that creates a "softer" look (which Jim King quite poetically called "pastel medieval painting look") - that's what caused me to keep it at this level and ask for people's opinion. As for the second one, - I totally agree. I minimized people's presence as much as I could. It was hard to get nobody at all in the frame, - it's a populated place. The time was such that there were not too many people, but somebody was there all the time. So, I didn't want to test the patience of my wife who had been already patient enough waiting for me setting things up and waiting for this moment. Thanks for looking!
