Yep a tad sharper on Luka's face would've been better. It isn't, so no big deal simply because " the FEEL" of the scene is so strong. This one falls into the category of, " if HCB had taken it everybody would pee their pants drooling over it!" Hell if we were to discard every non-perfectly in focus in the right place of HCB's a number of them would be deleted. As would many of those of the so called greats! Gut feelings have far more to do with successful photography than all the perfect in focus, maximized techie things in the world can achieve! it's a KEEPER for a very very long time!:-) Well done! ted
