• Comment. I'd suggest a tighter crop over Sadat's head and behind Begin's back, so that it's more obvious which people are the subject of the picture. Spikebrennan (talk) 13:23, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Reply: including members of the crowd helps provide context. i.e. they just announced the signing of the peace accords. Jaakobou^{Chalk Talk} 20:17, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
