How does that work? > :-0 The cropped version is such an intimate and perfect moment that it's almost TOO perfect; we see hundreds of those, every year, in some marketing form or other, and 99.99995% of them, give or take, are posed to a faretheewell. There are only a handful of shooters in the world capable of this level of perfection without lights, directors, and a full production number with live musicians and a chorus line. We just happen to have several amongst our little club here. (I prefer the uncropped version, myself; I've seen enough greeting cards.) -- R.
