Today I saw an amazing photo taken by Felix Ordonez of Reuters. It was the cape of the toreador, with his shadow falling on the ground behind him, and the shadow of the bull falling on the cape. I thought it was absolutely extraordinary how he captured the spatial relationship of bull-fighter and bull with only half of the former and none of the latter within the actual picture frame.
I thought that was one of the most brilliant photographs I have ever seen, and I wanted to express my congratulations and gratitude to Mr. Ordonez. That photo is a true work of art.
