I've been trying to figure out what I want to say about this photo, and I think I have it now. When I first look at it, I find the highlights too bright, almost glaring. But there's a really beautiful way in which they cascade down the image, even through the plant on the ground, and seep into the tones of the sidewalk. It ends up being a strange, almost intimate shot. It's like a static waterfall.

Reminds me of the Neiman Marcus butterfly display: http://beenup2-photos.s3.amazonaws.com/1277/94f44beb-3740-447f-8593-5754e5936c87-m.jpeg
Neiman's is pretty much my Disney Land, so not only do I love the texture in this photo, it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling… kinda like cashmere
