Ok... I just realized that 3+ years ago this was among my selections in the "Pick your fav image from the person above you" side challenge. This week I had the realization that "picking a favorite" should have included a comment about why. So I've been back over the last 1600+ posts to find my choices and make amends for my omission.
Although it appears you haven't been active here recently, here's my belated comment:
I like the dark, brooding nature of this photo. It caught my eye, and had I voted in the challenge, I'd certainly have scored it high. Finally, it holds up well to time. This exercise of mine (returning to view an image after several years) confirms my appreciation of your photo.
