It opened the second time.

I did something like that with a mountain picture. It's difficult because a camera wraps a round world to a flat piece of paper. So when you take 2 pictures beside it other the curvature of them are opposite and don't line up. The more overlapping you do the better it looks. Also I learned to take the picture in full manual mode. Any shutter speed or aperture change changes the brightness of the picture. So then you are lining up a darker picture by a brighter picture. Overcast helps too as it makes the lighting more uniform.

But it looks like he did a good job.

If you look directly above Bush. About 3 rows, there is a black hat that is just floating in the air above a man with a grey hat on. Also the bottom of a mans face with the face of a woman, with a big grey bow on her head, above it.

Since people move around slightly as the photos are taken, there are a few small glitches in the image. The software did a fantastic job, however, and there is amazing detail when you zoom all the way in.

The hovering hats, faces and hair is pretty funny though...

LOL. That's funny. Like I said, it's hard to get the picture right merging them.
