Beautiful shot. Hope its a big enough file for a poster size. Would make a great large wall hanging. Nice Shot!

  Thank you, Bob! I appreciate your comments. And yes, it is large enough to make a 17 x 24 photo, which is precisely what I plan on doing. By the way, you have some great photos in your gallery.

  Wow, this is spectacular, Ray, your exposure and capture of that warm light are terrific, and I like the opposite side perspective in this shot as well!

  Ray, this is one of the most best photos I have seen on this site.

Should have got much higher appraisal.

  Thank you, David and Christopher. I appreciate your support.

By the way, I've been viewing some of the websites from those who have responded, and I have to say you folks have got some pretty impressive images yourselves!

  Ray, this is very impressive and dramatic. I love the color. Did you use a color intensifier? It should be the winner, Do you sell copies of this? E mail me the snswer. Dave

  Thank you, David! No 'color intensifier' used, just a little bit of color correction in PS. Other than that this is how the image came out. And yes, I do sell copies. Since I don't see your email above, you can email me at schrackman@earthlink.net

Thanks again!

Ray
