You know, Ted, it shows how carefully I pay attention to your critiques that
virtually the same thought in virtually the same words popped into my head
when I first viewed them.  Thanks Barry and Ted for confirming the
selection.

Cheers!

Chandos,
Stay with the horizontal it's a very strong visual, certainly without 
question the better of the two by a landslide!

It grabs and holds the viewer. The vertical is nothing more than a tourist 
happy snap of no consequence. Something like... "here we are at the fife and

drum event... click next slide!" And if you blink and don't see it you wont 
have missed anything.
