We have the same weeds in the abandoned farmer's field on the other side of our hedge; those mothers can grow up to about three metres tall. Weeds, not farmers, but that's only in my experience.
I find this image a strange one. Not from the photographic point of view, which, to me, just looks like any other shot taken in dull light, the composition being nice and more or less at least what I'd expect from anyone of Michael's track record. What strikes me is the relative joy with which it has been received.
I have posted here before about my surprise at the lack of reaction to some of the really impressive stuff that gets to grace the front page of this site, and here we are, a perfectly ordinary shot touches the G-spots. I never cease to wonder at what makes different people tick.
Not a complaint, not even a criticism, just an expression of surprise. No wonder stock was ever a very chancy medium.
