the decisive moment

"Place de l'Europe" by Henri Cartier-Bresson.
"photography is not like painting. there is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. your eye must see a composition of an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. that is the moment the photographer is creative. "oop! the moment!" once you miss it, it is gone forever"

- henri cartier-bresson
and judging by that photo, cartier-bresson certainly caught the moment.
