Why not have the >"climber almost full face into camera grimacing in pain and effort? > >Just a passing thought? >Thanks for your explanation Ted -- As I'm sure you can understand, I don't plan most of my photographs. I photograph things that happen in front of my camera as they happen. The "climber" is actually a street performer doing his silly thing in Washington Sq Park, he was always moving and entirely unpredictable. I'm sure that you noticed that I really missed the focus a little bit, his face is not as sharp as I'd like it to have been. All of that aside, I like the "unconventional" framing and the resulting suggestion of activity and frenzy. I don't think a more static photograph would have been nearly as interesting. I welcome your thoughts in response. .
