    What a spectacular photo, Chris! A moment like this is so fleeting, but you captured it at precisely the right second, at precisely the right angle, and at precisely the right settings on that camera. You and the good Lord make a great team! Keep ‘em coming!

    What a beautiful photo, Christopher. Admire the way you composed this, with the sun and rays off-center right. I can understand why Outdoor Photographer’s Magazine would feature this on their website. How long ago? I’ll go look.
