Gary Lengyel
Excellent capture and congratulations on winning the challenge. You said above that you were hoping the sun was out to use a faster shutter speed. A bright sun would have produced a lower quality image. You had perfect light here.
Lover1969 replied
I found that out the second time I went back when the sun was out. Almost all of the photos I took were ruined by the bright sun. You are right, cloudy can be a much better choice. Thanks for your comment.
