I think that this is my first post ever here, but the image was truly remarkable.
I suppose that folks who understand things better than I could tell you why it has/had such appeal, or that my being drawn to it is simply personal, but it seems to me to be one of the most stunningly composed and simply eloquent images done in a LONG time. To top that all off, I generally don't much like the renderings.
An amazing job, an inspired subject matter, and a compliment from a curmudgeon. Thank you!
