Amazing eh, especially when you consider that Rhein II sold for over 4 million dollars. I could never understand that one!!!!

Rhein II as I recall was "digitally altered to remove distracting elements"...I suppose it is a photographers name and auction location and hype then it sells.  Do I understand it? No, sure don't.   At least the Mirosoft photo is commercially employed.
