    EDIT 2: would like to see the point of focus a little further back in the second image. The railings feel as if they’re the point of focus, even factoring in the motion blur.

    Just want to point out that the second one is by Cartier Bresson (co-founder of Magnum Photos) which is the inspiration for the first photo.

    Lol.. isn’t it true how all us modern photographers are hung up on technical quality :)

    Would be good to see the original again. I’d like to see what you mean by moved also ?.

    Other than that, I think that the person is a bit too small in the frame. Still interesting mind.

    I’m sure Henri Cartier Bresson would love to hear this feedback, if he were alive…

    Wheres the original image gone? Posting a shot that inspired you, especially by Cartier Bresson, is never a good a idea as you’re only giving people something to compare your shot against!!! And when it involves a legend, it’s just makes it harder…

    Sorry about the image disappearing like that. I replaced the image in flick but forgot about this thread.

    I’ve also included the shot before the edit of moving the jogger. I know that this is not in the spirit of Cartier Bresson but it was more the composition that inspired me. As I was taking the shot, the HCB image was in my head.

    Thanks for all the comments and critique so far.
