Rectangles in a Decisive Moment

Henri Cartier-Bresson's photo of a young girl running up a set of stairs in Sifnos Greece, is a wonderful example of decisive moment shooting. While my photo will never match the genius of Cartier-Bresson, it was satisfying to capture a random moment in time. Repetition of rectangles in the background coupled with the bend of the person's leg compels me to marvel at the skill by which the master captured an image.
