[Leica] IMG: The Man in the Black Coat

[Ted Grant]

Hi Gerry,
Interesting comment on the angle? I, like Nathan, certainly upon first look was? " oops, neat photo but why didn't he crop it straight?"
But it's your photo and you've received many accolades, so it's your call as it should be for any of us while discussing "our own photos!"
However, the crop comments to straighten are a minor effort. As it still has a "magical effect" as is.
cheers,
ted

Thanks for your kind comment Nathan. This image has proved to be one of my most popular. Personally I think the tilt adds a certain dynamism and immediacy to the image, a sort of ‘on the run’ type impression.
