Thanks very much, Bryan; greatly appreciated. The shot sort of made itself, although I did have to scoot down the beach and anticipate the lady’s alignment with the Sun. I tried twice, and luckily the second was just about perfect. Anyway, glad you liked it :-)
WOW!!!! One of the BEST Pics I’ve seen in quite some time…. Very, Very Impressive, Mark.
