decisive moment - a photo on Flickriver

decisive moment

            The concept of the “decisive moment” implies that the photographer must be able to anticipate an important moment within the constant flow of life, and capture it in a fraction of a second. Therefore, the key thing about the “decisive moment” is the ability to anticipate.

Ingedients: 
Cartier-Bresson 1932 "man jumping over puddle",  Saul Leiter 1959 "street scene", add one leaning Lodgepole pine, stir in some red and simmer 45 minutes. 

Side note: seriously I would have never composed a photo with all that dark zone area if I didn't study Leiter's work...
