Recommendation

The picture becomes completely different depending on who takes it, even when all other conditions are the same. Photography is an empathetic interaction between the photographer who shoots and the object being shot. If he has a shallow heart, the object shows its shallower aspect. If his heart is deep, it shows its deeper aspect.

The picture taken by Sir Toe is deep. He has an acute sense of timing for releasing the shutter; he does it with swordsman’s breathing.
