See this picture?

If you have followed me for long, hopefully you'll recognize this photo. It's one of my all-time favorite pictures I've ever taken. I love it for so many reasons. I'll get to that a little later.

Last weekend, at the Sierra Vista Open House, someone stopped and pointed out that this couple was standing in a soybean field. On his or her first glance, one might think that's an odd choice. Did I put them in some random field just to get some sort of "field-shot?" What's up with the soybeans?
