I agree with the composition of the photo where the boy should be to the left more so you can see ahead to where he is going, but like you said, sometimes you don't have time to compose a shot.
What matters most to me too, like you, is that I am happy with the image and sometimes our favorites are not everyone elses.
Good point Alexander, this was taken in very dim light (dusk) with a telephoto lens so I didn't have time for composing it the way it should be. Just one of the many imperfections of this image, which is really dynamic! :) Thanx.
Super! I love this photo! Motion, energy - all the best. Only one moment is not good - composition. Boy must be on the left side, not right. Currently right side (vertical line) are stoped motion. :^(
