....ah yes, the ol' cut the feet off trick. I think I was one of those who
took you to task on that picture because I thought that his feet were
actually the central element in that picture because he looks like he is
running and therefore at least one foot would be off the ground which would
be a very cool photo.

In this picture of mine his feet are pretty irrelevant as they really have
nothing to do with the composition.
