Hi Frank I think the photo is a strong one and I like it. Maybe even both feet where up in the air here like on the famous photo of HCB of the little boy running. Did you examine the negative to see if your really cut one foot? I just saw today an exhibition of HCB pictures and that photo at the "Kunsthaus" - www.kunsthaus.ch in Zurich with a certain PDML member :-) Also some very impressive Los Angeles Police photos from 1930-1960 and photos of M.Tichy too.
