The drama of that shot is amazing. I couldn't imagine what you'd have here after that wonderful shot on the skywatch page. Two very different shots but both phenomenal.

I love the story behind your banner picture (on the Sky Watch homepage.) Isn't that always the way? The best seems to happen when no plans are laid or any extra steps taken.

Sandra said...

As said on skyWatch Friday - unreal and breathtaking

Gayle said...

I'm not sure where to start. You list photographer 4th in the things you do/are. You must be one amazing pilot, etc. because your photography is the best I've seen. Your photos speak. The colors are amazing...do you change them a lot with the computer? I'm definitely adding this blog to my favorites to see more! I can't imagine what the winning photograph was...your photo isn't just a photo...it is a story.

You were a wonderful host today. I loved your words then I saw your photo. WOW! I logged in incorrectly so I had to do it twice
then I came to your blog. I only got to this photo and my jaw dropped open. Amazing colors! I can't wait to read and look backwards. Thanks for doing this.

I'd like to take the credit that Quint found you through me...but I could be wrong!! haha....nice shot as usual....

All has been said already. A wonderful photo. It is also an amazingly emotional photo. A very difficult thing to achieve.

Jules said...

Your photo-shop techniques are amazing. Each of your photos on this page are a work of art!!!!

But the size of my volcano beats the size of yours I'm afraid (not in height but in the amt of ash pouring out of it!!!)!!!
