Interesting you should say this. My first association was the commercial I saw on TV recently - a tall glass of milk talking from above to some kind of milk bar while leaning over it... yeah, I know I'm watching TV too much. The point is, there's a tension in this photograph and a sort of anticipation of what's to happen next. > >And then I finally realized that to me this photo is quite whole... Indeed it is. And the one that can easily be liked, for that matter. Cheers, Leon
