[Leica] The decisive moment (Cropped versions)

[Nathan Wajsman]

Sorry Ted. I agree with your wisdom 99.9% of the time but this image represents the remaining 0.1%. With the water cropped away it is still a nice image, but I think it adds an element of interest to have the reflection there. At least for me it does. 

Cheers,
Nathan
