No question, as for me it would be with HCB when he took this:-

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=mi...23%3B304%3B470

The reason is because it is a photographer’s picture and probably not appreciated as much by the general public. In this image I think HCB has made a compromise between composition (not a great composition) and moment. What makes it really brilliant is not just the expression of the woman on the left, but the fine line between the woman on the right and the profile of the woman in the distance. One of his quotes reads thus:- The difference between a good picture and a mediocre picture is a question of millimetres – small, small difference. But it’s essential. I don’t think there’s so much difference between photographers, but it’s that little difference that counts, maybe. - Henri Cartier-Bresson -quoted in the interview by Sheila Turner Seed. [cited in: “Popular Photography, May 1974, p. 142 “Henri Cartier-Bresson”]
In this picture we have proof of this quotation.

Yeah, printing is where its at on both counts really, but I doubt I'd learn much in a couple of hours and a spliff.
I'd like to see how they both go about set up and shoot in a studio environment, I don't do much studio now but I have done in the past and its tough going when you can't make excuses...
