The human induced opinion is quite a funny and fickle thing.

I went ahead and googled "The greatest photograph ever taken."

The classic image of Sophia Loren jealously gazing upon Jayne Mansfield's barely clad breasts was close to the top of the list as per Google. However .... a little further down I found this one which in my opinion is much greater than anything posted here or there.  :old:



Simply delightful I say!

I concur. That is an excellent example.

Chinese people laugh at your photos while they put your people out of wotk :rofl

They probably laugh at your spelling too.

Devil I agree I think the photo is the greatest one ever taken.
