Whilest IMG1 is clearly about the punts and the people on themn, IMG2 is more about the bridge and the people contend for attention. I've never come across the "rule" that Slobodan cites and I don't agree with it. If the person is the subject of the photo it makes more sense, but in this case he's not. Thanks for the responses.
