[Leica] Three tries at one image

[nicholsj at edge.net (Jim Nichols)]

Chandos,

I like the second image, which doesn't have the blurred motion of the other
two.   You could get to a higher shutter speed with a faster lens, but you
would probably lose the depth of field that makes the second image a great
picture.

Just my thoughts.
