Actually, Adam, the second one does it for me - the Dad and lad in
baseball caps, the sense of people behind them...this one works better.
The thing I was thinking was missing from the first one was, in fact,
other baseball caps. Yes, you could pull back a bit further, but this
way you get the little boy reasonably large...I think it works...And in
any case, they're both night shots....

Thank you, B.D. I appreicate the feedback. And you're right as I look at
it. My alternate is:

and while it shows his father it doesn't do much better about showing it
as being a ball park. Maybe a little, but I'd have needed to have pulled
back further and then the crowd would have overwhelmed the image of the
little boy....I think.

I'll ponder how I might have done this better!

Much obliged for the kind words.

Adam
