Have we seen this before? It looks very familiar. One way or 't'other, it's a real fun shot, but beyond the humour in it, it's very well composed and framed. Rather exquisite, actually. Maybe it's the saturated colours, but there's a certain surreal look to it. I just can't put my finger on why I like it so much, but I do. Great stuff (but fun stuff, too). cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
