Here is the newest rendition based on all the wonderful feedback from the previous posting. I finally figured out how to scan this image to come reasonable close to the actual print. My Photshop skills are lacking.
My goodness, this is one of the most memorable colour prints I have seen in... I don't know how long. It's just inexpressibly gorgeous. The darker tones really create a special contrast pocket for the colours to inhabit. The sense of scale is breathtaking - the 300 was a perfect choice to achieve that dramatic compression.
In my opinion this website haunt harbors revered intelligence, and this images is, in part, a product of their criticism from a previous posting to this gallery. I take my bows to all of your considerations, thoughts, and critiques. Thanks.
