Reduced participle clause

Hello. I have a query regarding the so-called "reduced participle clauses". Is, in the following example, the second sentence a correct application of that grammar phenomenon?

John, who is sitting next to me, is a very diligent student. > John, sitting next to me, is a very diligent student.
  

Top answer

Anonymous John, who is sitting next to me, is a very diligent student. > John, sitting next to me, is a very diligent student. That is correct.

  • Anonymous John, who is sitting next to me, is a very diligent student.
  • > John, sitting next to me, is a very diligent student.
  • That is correct.
