Robb's car shot wouldn't be half the photo it is without those people in
the background. Looking back on it now, I don't mind the hands, and they
evoke a sort of "cage" or "arena" feeling. Last night they irritated me
for some reason. Go figure. And you know how some browsers highlight
things in a bluey purple when you select them? Now *that's* an
interesting effect with this photo. :)
