Deborah: I love this image.

A few years ago, I made a similar image that has been published several times, in Nature's Best magazine and a calendar, for example. PhotoID: 778386
http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/gallery.php?memberID=69365

In some ways, I prefer your image. A perfect example of remarkable nature photography.

Cheers!
