I love the graininess of this picture. It adds a Zen-like feel. Too bad the voters didn't appreciate it. Those of us who think outside the box will eventually be noticed! Well done!

Ah, terrific! I gave two 10'sa this challenge; yours, and pointandshoot's :-) How fun to see the scores went to shooters I admire without reservation. The mild but gnawing intensity of this particular vision is compelling.
