THX, As the cam was on a 90° and low angle i couldn't see what did i shoot a difficult angle to see, several ones were out of angle, and even this one i had to center a little. The other problem i get here was the floor, a metal pack's floor that every people walking moves everything so some ones were moved.

Thanks for the comments
