[Leica] Ted's Red banner

[firkin <firkin@netconnect.com.au>]

Now for the nit pick part! ;-)  In the background, right behind the couple's
head is a light with red banner that take ones eye right past them at first
glance, unfortunately once seen, it continues to be a distraction each time
you look at the picture..

How do you get away from it at the moment of shooting and not give yourself
 away as a "visual distraction" to the couple or old chap with the paper?

Not likely much, as this is a see it, react, shoot! And damn the
distractions. Given today's PhotoShop the red flag would be easily removed.

Even though the red dot is there at the moment, the picture content is
powerful enough a viewer can live with it.

Sorry Ted, 

I cannot agree: the red "banner" is a stop sign -- perfect irony for a young
couple, not to mention the serious advantage of a red dot in every image ;-)
