I concur. I really like it. For me, this is one of the best pics Frank
has submitted for a while. The fact that there are different things going
on makes it work.

That makes quite a nice picture in itself, but I agree with Shel that the
original is stronger, and for the reasons that Shel gives. In
particular, I
like the way it encourages the eye to roam around inside the frame and
enjoy
the whole scene, and give a context to the man reading, and the woman
with
the bike. The other bikes propped up are an important clue about the
character of the place. I also agree with Shel that the title is telling
people what to think, and what to see as the most important part of the
photo. I'd be more inclined just to caption it with the place and date,
e.g.
"Capraville, 2005".

I like this one. I think the crop is exactly right. I might
rotate it one degree clockwise. But that might just be me. Good work.
