I'm not seeing an image, Glen. Does that mean Matt couldn't choose?

It's not showing in this thread because there's nothing embedded in Glen's post to be shown. I'll check it all out shortly.

OP Fixed. Just waiting on Matt's comments.

And a great selection - but a difficult one too.

Thanks for getting the image up for me Glen. I was posting from an internet cafe and was unsure of how to make the post work. I chose the image because it captures an emotion...and a stillness that is unusual and not often seen in a photograph. Also, the composition is complex....finely balanced.....shouldn't work because of the way the elements are placed....but does work. Even the flag seems to blowing against the wind. Nice job Norbs!
Regards
