Thanks, Patrice.  I guess even with a 3.5-35mm digicam lens Pentax SMC saves
the day! :-)

I agree, the uncropped shot should have included the entire front foot in
the frame.  It was a tough shooting situation.  I had the camera pressed up
to the glass with a huge Saturday crowd of kids and parents around me.  On
top of that, I had to keep an eye on my two daughters at the same time!  So
needless to say, I wasn't really paying attention to the composition...  I
may have actually shot it one handed!

Thanks again!

Christian
