I'll bet you had to shoot.....well....about 30 Raw Frames per second to get this with that nasty wind.... :biggrin: , just lucky you have a buffer of 110 images.... :wink:
How much patience do i have to bring up for that 1D Mark III...just can't wait!

Great image by the way! I like the composition and chosen DOF my only minor nit would be to tone down the bright hot parts of the emerged dragon just a bit.

Greetings,
