That's beautiful!

I agree, it's not the camera that makes the art.

That IS a strong shot! I would imagine after the thrill of shooting it and looking at your leisure you realized HOW ******* CLOSE that was!
sheesh, living dangerously, eh?

Great Shot!

I just emailed the local TV meteorologists copies of it, I wonder if they will air it.

That is really amazing.
Around a month ago I was out all night trying to photograph the lunar eclipse and when I got the pictures back they were all pitch black and awful looking. I've pretty much ruled out trying to photograph anything at night after so many experiences. But this is great.
