Difficult light and subjects but I am pleased with the way this turned out and yes there are two big smiles behind all that 'Gray' Facial Hair. One of the major highlights of this year's Florida Spring Break Tour was not only having fellow NPN members Mark Seaver (left) and Dennis Plank (right) join JD and myself but the fact that we planned both their trips to overlap for three days to have the opportunity to work as a trio. The experience was extremely educational and fun for me and I want to thank you guys for making this year's tour one of the best.
For this image we had stopped at a local state park on Dunn's Creek to have lunch on our way to the Crescent Lake Rookery. What makes them difficult subjects to photograph together is that as soon as we hit shore, they would take off in different directions with camera in one hand and a sandwich in the other look'n for that next photo opportunity.

I didn't remember you sneaking this one on us, Mike. More like looking for a bathroom, though cameras were always with us. A very enjoyable and educational experience to see how two other photographers work.

Yeah, as Dennis says, "I always take my camera to the bathroom".... frown

A fine catch on the two of us, Mike. The mid-day light provides some well saturated colors and the scene looks just as inviting as I remember it. A good time was most definitely had by all.
