    I get your idea but I think you needed a different perspective.

    Not so sure Ben - I think this perspective really captures the story. And there is something very old fashioned about the look of these two images - not sure what it is.

    Maybe persperctive was the wrong choice of words, it just feels to tight to me.

    Maybe it looks old fashioned because it's a bunch of people at an amusement park, not playing video games on their cell phones. mwink.gif. Unless you have a helicopter, I'm not sure you could get a different perspective other than looking up from below, though I agree that the crop is kind of tight.

    Interesting observation, Richard - I think it's partially that, and partially the fairly flat black and white. Put them together and I'm back in the 1950s.mwink.gif
