Initially I tried cropping #2 on my screen to focus attention on the running figure and only the lower bright part of the sky, but after looking at both crops, I decided I liked it the way you posted it. #3 has me scratching my head a bit. Was your intention primarily to contrast the colors? ------------------------------ Yeah, I liked the play of the colors. I saw the firetruck coming, so I set up the shot and waited for him to land in the right spot. One of the reasons I am going back to film is that the camera will shoot when I want it to, not after it calculates all the stuff in the histogram, minus the phase of the moon. The groceruy shot was similar. I saw the kid coming, set up the shot and waited until he arrived. I probably could have waited one more step. Thanks.
