How about cropping the other way, lose the buildings.... Just above the 
beach so the child is jumping over unseen buildings....

Hi Nathan,
Sorry mate I hate to disagree with you on this one. The foreground water 
with only parts of the two buildings appearing are a complete distraction 
from the boy alone and jumping. And full buildings standing in the 
background. It might be different if the boy were also reflected in the 
water????????????? Maybe?

The water and building reflections are a definite distraction! The three 
points that really make the photo work are.......... Boy and two buildings 
clean without water and reflections.

I made a couple of prints and the water reflections destroy the image of the 
"THREE POINTS OF COMPOSITION" BOY AND TWO BUILDING POINTS! I find the fore 
ground reflections quite a distraction, rather than adding anything to an 
other wise interesting well balanced photograph. Once again........... ON 
THE "THREE COMPOSIIONAL POINTS"

Your thoughts good Sir?

cheers,
ted

For me, either the original image or crop 2. Definitely not crop 1, I think 
the water is essential.

Wonderful image!

Un abrazo,
