You're right. But with "apparently quite likely" I meant: "it happens
in practice". I often get lots of them in the foreground.  Apparently
the grass has higher contrasts or something resulting in a preference
for those control points.

What I meant is that from a preliminary optimization, the overlapping
areas of two images is aproximated. Next cpfind would be asked to find
key/control points in JUST this overlapping area. The sieve1*
parameters would ensure that we get a uniform blanket of control
points over the overlapping area of these two images.
