That crop makes a world of difference, IMHO. The inclusion of the girl on the right (looking the other way from the two on the left) is a really good idea. A lovely tender moment between the man and the girl, but the one on the right adds just a bit of tension to the scene. Maybe tension's not the right word, but she makes it interesting, none the less. A much, much stronger image, this time 'round. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
