    Ben, you know I love allot of your images. But that said, this is a "decisive moment" missed. For all the blather about the decisive moment, I tell my students that it is not the instant when everything comes together in the frame, and the shutter is released. Rather, it is that instant when you see the photographic possibilities in a scene or situation. So following my logic, the decisive moment did not occur when HCB released the shutter and froze the puddle jumper in mid-jump, it occurred when he looked through the hole in the fence, saw people jumping the puddle, and began shooting. Your decisive moment occurred when you saw PLAYA. Then should have come the day long stake out, to perfectly compose the frame, and shoot, and shoot, and shoot, trying to get just the right person in the right portion of the frame. Yes, the reds work, but as shot, this does not say PLAYA. ;-)

    Point made and taken.

    I am saddened however that I do not have the luxury of such free time.

    Again however I clearly understand your comment, thanks.
