[Leica] The decisive moment (Cropped versions)

[John McMaster]

How about cropping the other way, lose the buildings.... Just above the beach so the child is jumping over unseen buildings....

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,
