Thank you for the comments.   It's not a new idea that we all see things differently.  But the comments also point out that we first choose what to look at.  

My intent, in revisiting my image, was to show it in its new form.  Part of the charm of the second display is not only the gold backing but also the input of the human hand -- which is evident in the brush work in the submission (but even leaves out a few more items that "collectors" apparently seek).  

If my enthusiasm for the print is too much to bear, then please excuse me.   But I see some others enjoy it as much as I do.

picture is generally not stunning at all, and the whole exercise
becomes more about materials and technique than pictorial
representation.   The dam and churning water becomes subordinate to
the contrived framing and the pretentious signature.

Croton Dam -- April 2011—II:  I love it.  It looks like an antique print.  I like the subject matter, the printing method, the splashing water – it all works.  There isn’t anything I don’t like about this image.  Great job, Yoram.
