Is your room the talk of your floor? Did you paint your walls, get your hands on a Warhol, construct a makeshift bunkbed, or make Sansom look sanitary?

What ultimately separated this shot from all others is its layering of subjects, capturing an incredible vastness of landscape without shrinking the impact of the silhouetted figures.
