I thought it was a unique shot too and I gave it very high marks in the voting booth. Sometimes I think voters don't really look at what they're voting on. :(
We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
