Yes!
Marc accomplished the capture
of that transcendental momentary
fully alive experience
and placed it 
into a two dimensional rectangle.

To capture the "being there" experience
that we so often "feel" requires:
the right light
the right proportion in the frame
the right composition
the right color (and/or tonality)
the right moment (when it all ACTUALLY comes together

That's what photographers chase
and rarely really capture
