Hi great shot,Helps to be in the right spot at the right time ,added with about four hours of Patience people seem to forget all about the time it takes just to get the right angle or to get where ever your going to ,really like it keep up the good work, I'm a fellow photographer and know the joy in getting that one shot just where you wanted it .
