I actually really like this image. It doesn't hit you in the face with content. But it's rich with detail and have a subtly provocative composition. Plus, I know the power of a huge print since I used to make big prints. With the right material, a huge print gains a lot of power. I'm not trying to justify the price the print sold for. That's more a function of economics and speculation. But I think people are overreacting to the price and unfairly judging the art itself. That's an easy and cheap response. It's like saying - "I could do that." Maybe you could, in theory. But you didn't.

I took a second and third look at it and still think it is one that I wouldn't want if you gave it to me with the stipulation I had to keep it and not sell it, Jeff

That's ok, Jeff. I just wanted to share my thoughts on it - especially since I think the ridiculously huge price has made people unfairly dismissive of a photo they might otherwise take a closer and more open-minded look at.
