[Leica] The decisive moment (Cropped versions)

[Ted Grant]

Hi Nathan, 
Sorry mate I hate to disagree with you on this one. The foreground water
with only parts of the two buildings appearing are a complete distraction
from the boy alone and jumping. And full buildings standing in the
background. It might be different if the boy were also reflected in the
water????????????? Maybe?

The water and building reflections are a definite distraction! The three
points that really make the photo work are.......... Boy and two buildings
clean without water and reflections.

I made a couple of prints and the water reflections destroy the image of the
"THREE POINTS OF COMPOSITION" BOY AND TWO BUILDING POINTS! I find the fore
ground reflections quite a distraction, rather than adding anything to an
other wise interesting well balanced photograph. Once again........... ON
THE "THREE COMPOSIIONAL POINTS"

Your thoughts good Sir?

cheers,
ted

For me, either the original image or crop 2. Definitely not crop 1, I think
the water is essential.

Wonderful image!

Un abrazo,
