Original, larger version had images not cropped, because there was no limit on aspect ratio.

Technical info: Three shots at 100mm f/4.5, converted from RAW with Pentax Photo Laboratory, resized and cropped with XnView, arranged and "unsharp mask" in Gimp. Border color is the average color of middle shot.
