I see you under-estimated yourself here - doubting a top 100??
Ha!
You did awesome on this one, but now have to look away before I get hypnotized again....

A gracious thanks to all that voted and those that felt moved enough to comment and make it a favorite.

Here is the color version:


Each image, though the same, are very different.
I have a strong belief that if you want to transmit emotion out of an image,
strip the colors, as they tend to over-complicate things in our brain.

Frankly, this is one of the shots in this challenge I really expected to finish at least in the top 20. Knowing the voters and their never ending search for the eye candy wow shots, this finished pretty good, even though they probably never sat and absorbed the life that shines in this image.
Certainly one of your very best ever Gordon!

This was quite the compliment Skip, and have taken a lot of inspiration from John's vision.
Thank you.

Normally we shouldn't use a member's photo comments section for a thread of sorts, but what the heck - let's make this a party to celebrate an astounding image and person behind it.
Come on DPC'ers and let's have a tribute party, or a roast - that could be fun too....
:)
