I see what you're trying to do, and my first reaction was quite positive. But then I flipped between the two and decided that having Jesse less "dominant" works better for me. It's not a pic of Jesse, but a pic of Jesse "at the shore" exploring his new-found world. To constrict that world, imo, takes something away from the mood. It may, however, be a worthwhile exercise to see if there's a middle ground, for I like the slightly off center location of Jesse. Thanks for the suggestion.
