[Leica] The decisive moment (Cropped versions)

[Ted Grant]

Fair enough Nathan as you make a positive point rather than something like?
"Well I like it just as it is!" Without a photo composition explanation or
other why you like it.

And that's how we comfortably learn from each other, the reasons why we see
different things in different cropping and compositions.

So we're good and Lluis has a winner once again with several cropped
versions! And all working reasonably well through the eyes of all. :-)

cheers,
ted

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
