I'll try in the advanced user NG also.

I make some other tests using angles (and w/ a better point of view).

* The image without specifying any "angle" : 
http://destroyedlolo.homeunix.org:8080/~laurent/sans_angle.jpg

* The same with "angle 38" :
http://destroyedlolo.homeunix.org:8080/~laurent/angle_38.jpg

The result is better but ... you have to know the original view to 
recognize the mountains :-(

The other point is if I continue to reduce "Angle", I have also to move 
my camera further and it's bad because there is other mountains in my back.

Bye

Laurent
