Okay, I'll bite...

Why? i.e. I fail to see the artistic or photographic merit in this photo.

(And please, don't answer with "why not" as that would give justification to every snapshot ever made by simply pointing and shooting anywhere, anytime!)

I think Riaan is just testing Russ' patience ;)

I certainly agree with Terry, but I'm usually pretty patient with legs like those.

Well, at your age, you wouldn't have many options, Russ, would you? I am younger than you, and I find myself in the same sad situation.

You've got it, Seamus. No options at all. But I can remember what it was like!

I well remember my grandfather, when he was about as old as I am now, noticing an attractive young woman walking down the street.
My grandfather shook his head and said, "Oh how I wish I were 70 again!"

The ability to appreciate a nice pair of legs never goes away, Eric. It's hard-wired. It falls in line with what Richard Feynman once said: "Nature's primary command is 'do it again.'"

Could you make a case for leading lines?  ;)

Russ, I think you need to check your reading glasses. I did not write that OP was meant to test your potency, but your patience;D
