Hmmm.... Ted, I will have to disagree on this. It's not that I have a 
somewhat deified view of HCB (I do :-) ), and I do agree that in terms of 
sheer expression, this one is by far better, BUT... the genius of HCB is 
not just the peak action, but everything comes together in the lines, the 
forms, the composition, the jumping ballerina poster...

No disrespect to Italo of course. This is a great shot. I would be so lucky 
to get anything remotely as powerful in a lifetime.
