[Leica] Three tries at one image

[bdcolen at earthlink.net (B. D. Colen)]

They all "work" Chandos. I'd crop the first a bit, but I love the motion
in that one. And I like the composition in three, and the motion, enough
to forgive the fact that nothing is sharp. But as Sir Buzz of Belmont
quoth on many an occasion, "Focus and exposure are greatly over-rated."

Chandos - If #3 had the violinist's face sharp, I'd go for that one 
but since it does not #2 is my choice.  I really like the motion of 
the bow and violin in #3.   It's the most dynamic by far.
