I like it. A lot. It's not, perhaps, as spectacular as the others, but I find myself (in the relative absence of the "oooo, aaaaahhhh" factor) able to spend more time, looking at the patterns in the rock. I bet that as a big print, there's a lot more of that sort of detail there, but still, it's pretty neat looking at those big cracks, and the layers of (what I'd guess to be) cooled magma or lava (I can never remember the difference between magma and lava). Love the sky. Love the way that one wisp of cloud on the left more or less mimics the curve of the big rock. This is more subtle than the others, but I think if one spends some time with it, the rewards are there for any viewer (well, at least, this viewer). thanks, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
