Yes, worth processing it over, this time with all the care in the world.

Manfred Von Richtofen

Comment:
"Richthofen" with an "h". "Oven" is an oven. "Hof" is a farm, an estate. V. Richthofen was an aristocrat, a baron. In formal German, the "von" would be abrreviated to show the status. :)

An image which reminds me of an old poem by Ryota:

"No one spoke,
The host, the guest,
The white chrysanthemums."

There is an inscription on an old Viking stone, somewhere in Denmark or Sweden. It reads: "No monument can be better made".
You have sculpted quite a photograph here. May the muse be light and stay with you for a spell.

Exquisite frailty, well seen, captured and sensitively made.

It doesn't look like a thousand other sunsets. Fine image, cognac.

Remarks: Oddly, this genre, in a straightforward sort of way, would draw dramatically low marks from me. The cliche, however, has been promoted to the level of parody in this astonishing photograph, and that, apparently, without any injury to innocence or, if you like, to the subject itself.

Altogether a magical image well worth studying, even if only for the various tensions discovered, unified and celebrated here.
