This is one of my all-time favorite plates. I find it really beautiful and appealling..the framing..the scene..even the artifacts on the plate work with the subject. Excellent one Matt
 
One of the best plates I've seen here. Beautiful!

Matt you nailed this one. Fantastic! Looks like it was shot in Eastern Europe some where.
 
Thanks all for the kind words.

Bill... I spent alot of plates on this view.... I had problem after problem with 2 5x7s and 1 8x10.
Finally worked out when I tried an 8x8.
Guess it "liked" the square.
