Guys - Thanks for your comments. YES -- I immediately recognized that I should not have cut off this fellow's feet like that .... rookie mistake for sure. I think I was in too much of a hurry because I felt the guy would move very soon... This has happened several other times when shooting in Mexico, the people look at me with a camera aimed at them, it takes about 3 seconds to register, and they decide they don't like it or something and turn away or stick their hand up to block or something defensive. (I haven't learned the art of putting people at ease yet.... Gotta work on that bedside manner.) So, I quickly fired this off and didn't compose as well as I should have. I think that's why I didn't post this before -- it's at least 2 yrs old.

It's quite a crop btw MB... I guess I could play with it some more but without putting the feet back on I don't know how much better it'll get. I think I've hit the wall.
