Pleased that you enjoy the shot Ray. The small piece of ground that allow me to take this shot is about 15ft above the ground/water level with only 3x3 feet big... I scratched my beloved newly acquired Gitzo sys3 tripod when climbing up... had 4-5 trials when I did the post processing and this one selected as last.I do come back to this photo.
It is a lot of things I like about it!
But what is realy special for me in this one is the small sliver of sky on the top,
with the clear outline of the trees and the small bush in the bottom of the picture.
There is a clear communications between this two elements in the picture :thumbs:

Beautiful story, beautiful image!! :salute:This is from yesterday and comes with a nice little story Around 30 minutes before sunset my oldest daughter (11 years old) comes to me and says: "dad, can we go out and make a photograph of the sunset?" First time she ever asked this and I grabbed the opportunity at once and quickly put on the newly arrived SK 120 N (short barrel conversion) onto the MAX and off we go.
I ask her some questions if she has something particular in mind or we just drive around...she wants a tree! and the sunset! OK, lets look for trees with the sunset in the background and before long she points at a lonely tree 20 metres from the country road.
She unfolds the tripod to full extension (yes, I descreetly doublechecked that is was secure :shocked: ) And then I asked her to place the tripod where she wanted me to put on the camera. She chose a spot and I put on the camera. Then I explained that she had to point the lens towards what she wanted to photograph and look at the sprirtlevels on the tripodhead and adjust until both were level. Then I gave her the Disto and she took the reading to the tree, she set the distance on the lens. I showed her where to switch on the back and while that was booting, I gave her the cable release to screw on. We guessed the exposure values together and she set them. Then she took the picture and reviewed it on the back. Big eyes and big smile - COOL!
So, 11 years old and this is her first capture.
(Edit: I should add that it is the entire width of the original capture, I only cropped the bottom for 2:1 ratio)
