		| | A beautiful, transformative photograph. 
 If I were asked to show why and how photography can become art, this would be my current 'Exhibit A'.  I don't think of art as anything to do with 'beautiful' although this is indeed quite beautiful.  I think of art as an original interpretation of the familiar, in a way that is profoundly, even disturbingly, unfamiliar.
 
 The composition is sublime. It's an alien vision that nevertheless feels effortless and inevitable, but only after you've looked at it for a while.
 
 I'm a slave to this photograph.  It's my Gold Medal selection, with a score of 10, and a thank you.
 
 
 And I found an old Order of the Thumb lying about in a dusty drawer.  It's got your name on it now.
