Bill - Goody, indeed!  I agree.  It's nice to talk about pictures.

I understand your point about wanting the eye to move.  With the red 
spot gone you'd probably have to crop the image a bit to move the 
child's head left and get some action back into the picture.

It really is a beautiful picture one way or the other.  The vivid 
colors and great looking kid caught in mid-stride make it for me.

Thank you Steve for posting it.
