Funny I was thinking that EXACT THOUGHT when viewing it. Also a term I've never heard before ? ;o)
I'd say the title pretty much hits it on the head matching the B&W version although I prefer the color.
Nice work all around.

ENJOY THE WEEKEND

Yes I am in the B&W camp as to the B&W making the composition so much more moody and interesting. Great capture Michelle! #9976619

Mel got it right...but you'd have to imagine the Scotch. They had wine and beer...and Trader Joe's carbonated juices. DELICIOUS! #9976916
