I felt not worthy to post in this gallery, but finally thought... what the hey, I post everywhere else surely and WAY too often!! This image is one of my personal favorites... I drove by this spot hundreds of times, watching it for the right light to shoot. Early one Sunday morning last year, while going out to look for a GBH, it was time. A shooting buddy was driving, and I shouted "pull over!!!", even startling him a bit.
The first shot of the day (a landscape/horizontal) and this, the second shot of the day, are all that I have used from it--an oddity for me. I've been asked to allow the image to be painted by many artists, probably 10-15, and I believe some have done so without asking.
And, just yesterday I had a call from a very popular regional magazine about doing a shoot using this image and bridge for their upcoming cover. So, I know it's not perfect as I first imagined because of a previous posting on NPN. The wise, incredible people here pointed out some things I would have never thought of--and hopefully I can use this input and sage advice on the upcoming shoot to make it even better. That's why I joined NPN, to become better, and I appreciate everyone's patience and constructive critiques of my images. What an amazing place, congrulations on 10 years of the best nature photography in the world. Hands down, thumbs up!
