Because all the others I tried came out too tiny and dark.  This (the tree and sunset one, for posterity, after I've moved on to another) was the first one I was satisfied with.  And it reminds me of us (the branches), and nature (Our Film), and the beautiful melancholy of sunset (Our Film's tender, sweet yet tragic blissfulness).  Something like that.

YES DeeDee - As you know, I even sent you a PM about it!

Love it.

And latjoreme - That is one of my favorite Ennis pics - probably cause that is where Jack is saying, "It's alright..."

PS  Clarissa - Did you ever get to the Crest??

I chose one of Jack because he's come to represent all that is good to me in this world.  He's not  perfect, of course, but he's passionate, open, optimistic, and unafraid.  I chose this particular shot of him first because I love this shot from the movie - when he looks down on second thought rather than approach and introduce himself to Ennis when Ennis isn't ready, and second because I love the composition - I love the way the various shades of blue in the background meet the black of his hat and eyebrows and lashes and the white of his face and then come full circle with the blue of his shirt.  Makes me think of that Kenny Wayne Shepherd (ironic, ain't it?) song called "Blue on Black" ("Blue on black, tears on a river, push on a shove, it don't mean much.  Joker on jack, match on a fire, cold on ice, a deadman's touch.  Whisper on a scream doesn't change a thing, doesn't bring you back - blue on black.")

I chose this pic because I love it basically. I love the way they're intertwined and (although this doesn't have much relevance) I love how it was inspired by the picture from Titanic. I was looking for picture to go with "Youth is watsed on the Young..." and it was either this or one of them fighting (which would have reinforced how youth is wasted on the young) but I decided to go for the slightly happier picture.

Well one thing: Jake! Also I think it goes with the "no one can resist the Twist" caption.
