I understand your point about wanting the eye to move. With the red spot gone you'd probably have to crop the image a bit to move the child's head left and get some action back into the picture. It really is a beautiful picture one way or the other. The vivid colors and great looking kid caught in mid-stride make it for me. Thank you Steve for posting it. >Goody, a chance to demur. >I find the red in this picture most engrossing.
