Wow...what terrific luck and what great reflexes you had to NOT have missed this golden moment! Was this moonlight? #1326816

Brett Dolsen November 14, 2010

Thanks Michelle this too was an older capture and I took it in the early morning sun which was backlighting the roo.It all happened pretty quickly and I keep the camera under a towel between my legs when paddling just in case something like this happens. #9032853

OUTSTANDING SHOT !!!
I'd be a bit leery about having the camera in a Canoe.
Did take a P&S w/me once & wished I'd had the SLR
This shot may force my hand.

Happy Shooting
