This probably is when you can sink into a photograph, when it doesn't 
pop at you for the better.
That's the feeling I had with HCB.
Layers you can progressively savour.
And I don't think HCB only grabbed, he must have been patient, very 
patient of sorts.

I shot a bird at the weelkend, which I haven't posted, where I would 
have loved to have this LF camera set up where I stood.
It would have been the only way for me to 'record' the feeling I had 
when I went click.
Mind you , not the latest LF except for convenience, any LF would have 
done better than Leica/Ang?nieux/C/N/OZ glass on a sensor.

That photo has gone forever for the want of the appropriate tool.
It remains up there, in my mind's eye.
To be processed later, in the photog's paradise maybe? ;-)
Amiti?s
