I think the original did have then entire base but it also included some on the bystanders that were distracting. Also, the only lens I had on me was a 135 and that's a pretty long tele on the D. I was pretty far back, but that gives the shot that "compression" look.

The only thing that I think would improve it would be to widen the shot slightly and include the full foot thingy on the cannon on the right side. I am not loving how it kind of runs out of frame. Apart from that it is a very cool shot!
