Henri Cartier-Bresson spoke of the "decisive moment."
For all the beauty and grandeur of the Vatican Museum's art,
the Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica itself, for me this
scene trumped them all, and this photograph is possibly
the best taken during the entire trip, first seen from far down
St. Peter's nave and captured at  just the right moment.
