Hi Ruth,

Yours looks fine Sharon, I was trying to get the photo more upright - they all seem to be slooooooping! ;)

Still not sure if I have succeeded.

Cheers

I know what you mean Keith, but as the original post was straight (the white boarder looked pretty straight t o me) I thought I'll leave it.
Maybe they were swaying at the time, or the photographer fell off something as he took it.

You are quite right Keith, the photographer had the camera tilted.
As it was a family gathering probably had one too many.
 ( that's always my excuse.)

Thank you very much, it looks so much better.

And i have often wondered as to the sobriety of the photographer!!

Hi Keith,
              Ruth's relatives drunk? of course not. Who said the
photographer was a relative?  He could have been a paid professional
who just like a drop of the hard stuff. In fact I have spent a lifetime
cutting peoples heads off in photographs and I haven't had a drink.
Honest!   Now where did I put that bottle?
Tomkin.
