Oh, don't panic, Mark! Your work is much better than this! I didn't use a tripod and forgot to up my shutter speed and ISO for this shot taken quickly. So, it's not sharp, but I did think of you when I saw this.
D200, 70-200/2.8G AFS VR + 1.4 teleconverter (focal length 270mm); f9, 1/40 ss , ISO 100.
Mark, thanks for commiserating. Kinda sick about it; I hate it when I do that 'not sharp' thing. I'll have to go up again soon and find it again. I'll post it when/if I do and it's sharp.
I'm probably not the only one who shares your fondness for this subject. You've inspired me to look and recognize and take the shot. Thanks for that.

I think the weeds need to go and the rest of the image needs to be darker with a little more contrast. I also see a green color cast. Other than that the shot does have pontential.

Jeez, Catherine, bummer it's not sharp, I really like it.
