Now for me, this is a photo! Spectacular color, and such ingenious use of shadows and light. The exposure is perfect and the composition is flawless. A sad and poignant story is told, but somehow you pull off the theme of hope in an almost majestic way. Great shot, now one of my favorites. Thanks for posting this! #8134129
