This is so fantastic. How it is that I'm the first to comment, I haven't a clue. What a beautiful capture, and a good eye. So many tones, textures, and the lighting is so striking. Great mood to this!
Must be the slow holiday traffic in here..this is a super shot, and I certainly hope I get it in the voting booth..Your angle and the lighting is perfect.
"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
The notion that the public accepts or rejects anything in modern art is merely romantic fiction. The game is completed and the trophies distributed long before the public knows what has happened.

I keep coming back to this one ... and am still undecided.
It really is an atmospheric image, however ... the flare or distortion of the light ... wellll ... therein lies my one lone caveat.
Certainly drew me in ... and a number of times ... for a closer look. Ahh ... got it ... 'haunting' is the operative descriptor for my eyes.
Quite a powerful photo Matt. Despite my contradictory thoughts here ... there is a most professional feel to this one. And yes ... I echo the above words that it is a treat when you do post.
