On the way out of town I picked up a copy of the Observer to read the article Patrick had mentioned would be coming out. The article is on the editorial page, and shows the unaltered version of the shot of the 2 firefighters commiserating at a funeral. You can find the altered version on the Observer site. In the background you can see some "stuff", thrown way out of focus by DOF. If you look at it for a second, one is obviously a person in uniform, from the neck down. There might be a head above one of the fireman's heads. In the final version, the background is black. It's also been cropped. tv
