Nice shot; compositionally exquisite. It reminds me of the drunken wager struck between F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernst Hemingway about who could write the shortest novel. Unsurprisingly, Hemingway won. “For Sale: baby shoes, never worn.”

That is a terribly tragic story! It always stuck with me. As an aside, Wikipedia does say the Hemmingway attribution is a false one, since its first reference is back when he was 7 years old.
