[Theme] The decisive moment....
« on: December 23, 2015, 05:29:12 »
I'm not sure how Cartier-Bresson would define it, but for me the decisive moment comes the split second between the decision and the act.

Here's mine....let's see yours....

Kitanikkor - I can see that reactionary moment in your photo, very nice.  Here is my own moment, just before the act.

The decisive moment is not only for the human beings.  The black drop phenomenon during the transit of Venus.
