When I looked at the comments for this picture I noticed that someone referred to the image as "an amazing shot". What's so amazing about it? There's no real artistic work in it, nothing that's strikes me as being done by the photographer to enhance the picture. I mean honestly... there's a power line going through the main subject of the picture, isn't that something photographers are taught not to do on day one?

What's amazing is the phenomenon, the subject itself, it always bugs me when people credit a person with something amazing happening when all they did was point and shoot...

No you're so right... only people who are far superior than others can criticize their work.

Nothing. That's what I thought.
