Mr Salge. . .

Congrats ! If I recalll that was a shot you had scoped our and filed away in your mind for the right opportunity. Just goes to show that Nature photograpraphy is abou tmore than just luck with the light. Visulization and planning are also important to "making yourself lucky" with the light.

Thanks everyone! I certainly acknowledge the help and encouragement that the people in this sub-community have brought to me as I learned over the past few years. My gratitude is immense.

Jim, I have been after a shot like this at this location for years, and waited the scene out for over an hour that morning hoping for a break while socked and souped in. Luck plays a part, but my luck for this scene came slowly...

Thanks again, and I look forward to more great shots and great discussion over here!
