Thanks, Douglas.  I see what you mean but I'm a lot less interested in the
human than I am in the play of light on the bell of the trombone and on the
drums.

I should have 'worked' the scene from various angles and then perhaps I
would have had something better to use when I got to the processing stage
but as it is I think I'll just have to chalk it up to another lesson
learned,
