Great capture Tamera, love the flag in the background! #2989353

Dennis Flanagan level-classic July 05, 2006

Really sharp focus. Not easy to do at 300mm. #2989384

Ken Smith level-classic July 05, 2006

It'd be really cool if the pronghorn could somehow salute the flag. Maybe that can be your next project. Good job combining the two pictures. #2989451

Tamara K. Walker level-classic July 05, 2006

Thanks for all of the nice comments.

Ken, this is just one picture. I will work on getting them to salute. #2989477

Thank you all for the great comments.
I just happened to luck out and the pronghorns were standing on top of the hill and the flag from the state park was visible.
The only photoshop editing I did was remove the edge of a water tower that was visible on the right and lighten the shadows.

Tamara, OK you were barely right. :-) #2992668

After some research (someone has too much spare time) I must correct my original statement. The flag is a little over one mile by the way the crow flies. If you walked the distance it would be a couple of miles.

Thanks so much guys (You know who you are) for all the concern and extra attention you gave this matter. It great to know some one cares so much. #2992778

I'm not sure who the "guys" are, but if you want to be correct, you should go back into "Your Photos" and update the mileage on the description. We're there for you. :-) #2993155

Really great capture ...no matter how far away the flag really is...LOL #2993780

Tamara K. Walker level-classic July 06, 2006

Thank you so much Kenneth, I think the "guys" could learn from you. #2993824
