Hi!
After seeing some comments WRT my PAW from yesterday, I decided to
<gasp> crop it a bit to get the boy off centre. I also dodged mom's
face just a teeny bit (but not too much, I don't think). I resisted
the urge to sharpen the boy's face - or should I say that I tried, but
it looked overdone to my eyes, and I preferred it as is. I also
decided not to straighten it, as the window frames of the building in
the background are indeed horizontal, so in fact the bus is going up
hill. This is therefore an accurate depiction of the tilt (or rather
the lack thereof).
With all that in mind, comments on the new and hopefully improved
version are appreciated:

As a point of comparision, here's the original full-frame version:

Frank, the original is better. By moving boy to the left you reduced the
space he is looking at (if it makes any sense to you). So, the picture
became more tight and more tense and all together worse...
I will be posting you my try at cropping of this picture in a moment. I
am too clumsy-in-tongue to explain it in words...
