"Do you have another picture because that sure isn't 11,000 people - more like 4+- thousand"

So all 11,000 have to show in a single photo? Uh, no. The headline is a crowd estimate from those in position to estimate, it's not a claim that posted photos show the entire crowd in a single shot.

Read the article. It explains your concern.

From the direction the closest people are looking, they seem to be right in front of the stage. The road BEHIND the photographer likely holds a similar amount. There is also a cross road perpendicular to the stage and I imagine there would be a whole bunch there, too.

That should take care of the missing 7,000 or so.

My cousin attended a Romney rally recently - took him 4 hours to get there ... usually takes 1. He managed to get in, but they finally had to turn people away .... and those people ended up on hillsides surrounding the venue. The rally was delayed an hour and a half to try to give folks time to get there because of the traffic all converging on the rally site. What you see in pics is often not what is going on ..... Romney is drawing, in comparison to Obozo/Biden, huge and enthusiastic crowds.

From the article:

...Mitt Romney had a massive crowd of 11,000 people eating out of his hand. The huge attendance caused the audience to spill over its initial boundaries and through the streets surrounding the stage....
