Lovely clarity and focus and I like the simple composition. Title is very nice, too. One of my 10's

i like it, and will be curious to see what it really is. wonder how it would have looked with some color tinting?

No idea what it is, but I love it!
03/13/2012 08:00:24 PM
I really love this image. Good use of 'thirds'. The line in the back really makes the image.

This really can only be a 10! This really belongs in a gallery. Hopefully you will share how it was done.
