Monalisa on the ground

[harsh.kataruka]

Hi,

Here's a shot I'd captured of an artist in the process of completing his Monalisa on the ground.

Does the centre composition work well in the pic or would the rule of thirds have worked better?

Also, the leg blur on the top of the pic has me a little confused. Whether it really does anything for the pic or cropping it out would've been better?

Other composition suggestions would be most welcome.

For me, the center crop is perfect.The one and only thing about the crop is that a slight portion of his hat got cut off. Do you have the orginal where you could redo it?
I'd be inclined to get rid of the extra legs but dont think it is really that big a deal. Just a matter of preference.
Chalk drawings always amaze me. The art is amazing in itself, but its only temporary. It would kill me to watch my masterpiece wash away with the rain

Thanks for the comments windrider86.

Unfortunately, due to the crowd, i could not take a wider angled pic. I now realise i should've gotten lot lower to click which might've gotten the hat into the frame too.

And it was almost surreal watching this man bring this picture alive on the side-walk. Even more the fact that he'd just been at it for a day, and was very content to leave his art out at the elements' mercy!
