Hi Donna! Thanks very much. I know this shot has been done by thousands if not millions of people and photographers. It really doesn’t matter though, I had to do it too! I hope to go back and do it again. #8005771

Gary Sagnor October 04, 2009

Wow! I'm not used to getting comments on my photos. Thank you all very much! Jack, yes it was a bit dangerous. I was as far out on the rocks as I could get. The wind was really beating us up! #8007342

Nikki McDonald level-classic October 12, 2009

I think this is beautiful and I don't care how many times it has been done before :) I am on vacation and will be in Acadia tomorrow and the next day -- hope I can get a shot that is half as nice, Gary. #8031587

Gary Sagnor October 12, 2009

Nikki, by the looks of your gallery, I don't think you’ll have a problem as long as the light is good!! Enjoy Acadia, I know I did! Your compliment made my night, thank you. I look forward to seeing your work from there! #8031755

Nikki McDonald level-classic October 14, 2009

It will be awhile before I post my shots but I can tell you they won't equal yours -- I was way too chicken to go out where you did. But the night was beautiful if very cold and it was an experience of a lifetime. Acadia is indeed beautiful and we were lucky to have sun today -- the rest of our trip promises to be rainy as well as cold. The exposure is great here, btw. #8037579
