Christine,

This image is so spectacular! All the elements of wonderful photography--high contrast, artful and pleasing composition, geometric (personal bias), and filled with mystery.

Dramatic B&W Christine. I have no idea why it reminds me of a Hitchcock movie but it does! Love it! -Laura #6878114
