Thanks Keith... I have mixed emotions regarding the comment that the shot needs to have scale. It was my intent to isolate the subject from it's surroundings, and have it loom large in the frame, which I did in this shot.
I haven't had a chance to look at it the context of the others, but I'll do so to see if I can make myself feel the same way. :-) Maybe the fact that it made you ask the question, "What else is there?" makes it a successful shot. Typically I'm intrigued by shots that I not only enjoy, but leave me wanting to see more. :-) Just my take. Thanks again for commenting.
