I like both of these pics, but I think I like this one better. I went back and forth a lot trying to figure out the rationale behind the "gut reaction" ... and to understand better my own composition biases. I think it's the vertical orientation that may detract a bit from the other.

In any case, this one is awesome - great patterns, wonderful use of the line on the left to balance (as noted before) and great moment w/ the arm extended.

I'm curious ... did you try any different crop on the other?

This is really very nice.

Great timing and composition. If you could get her to drop the white card and walk through again ...

I'm curious, did you stake the light out at this spot for awhile or was this a "chance encounter?"

Handheld ... with great admiration for Nikon's VR lens!

Oh this is great. The combination of the legs alone is wonderful, but then, right as my eye is about to leave the frame ... the pigeon.

Really well seen and shot.

Amazing! In my life, this would be one of those places I would stake out for an hour and never see / get the perfect alignment of all the pieces like you got here.

Well done.
