Thanks, Dennis!

Great art isn't so much about the subject but how the subject matter makes one feel. This photo certainly triggers the imagination with a flood of feelings. And, it keeps inviting me to look longer and longer. I don't think it gets better than this. What a great field.

Cheers, Marcus
