Good one...love this and what a great idea for a composite! I am going to do it Dale, honest! #10694565

Oh I love this one Susan, great subject!! I have been thinking just need to do it!!! you just gave me the push I need. thanks great job! #10694596

Susan Williams May 15, 2013

Thanks so much Jeff, Kristin and Rita. I am so glad you like it as this is a real stretch for me. It would help to have a buddy to push the shutter, but probably not nearly as much fun. Dale's tutorials were a huge help with post-processing. #10694673

Outstanding capture Susan, I can see this going GOLD for this months theme. Would like to know what the tutorials were that you received as I would love to try this with my twin grand daughters. #10694722

Susan, am so proud of you. Well done, but of course you know that we expect to see the images that all you guys were taking in this shot. :-) #10695290

Brilliantly done! Great processing work. I love the hat on hat off touch that you added. #10695397

Wow, everybody! Thank you so much for the applause! It's quite humbling and very much appreciated. This was my toughest challenge ever.

Dale - oh, just wait until I post the images shot in this composite: a Snowy Owl, a Ghost Orchid, two Eastern Diamondbacks, a Grizzly Bear and, my favorite, Sasquatch. #10695417

Dale Hardin May 15, 2013

Now I know you're teasing me Susan. I know that some of these aren't real, like the Ghost orchid. :o) #10695470

Susan, I am such a proper English gentleman that I just never use cliché expressions such as "awesome" unless I am indeed filled with awe. Susan! This is awesome girl! #10696382

Awesome challenge, Dale. Thanks for all your help! #10702795
