Shane, that's one sweet photo. I saw your Mtn Goat thread, and thought this was the best one of the bunch. Wish I'd been there!
Well I will gladly take you out if we ever get a chance to meet up.

Here is a "bright spot" that I will put in the mix, for my second entry.
This was taken last August. It was 106* in the shade at the time I was photographing this red sunflower. Believe you me, I did not look half as perky as this flower at the time!

Javman really had a special photo. :tup:All the more special because of what he had to go thru to get it. Camping in the enchantments. Packing all that gear up over big-time elevation changes. Then having to practically run over ridiculously difficult terrain in order to get in position in time, before the goat got all the way across. Sometimes great images come easily, but it's all the sweeter when they require some type of supreme effort. When so many factors all had to come together perfectly in order to get the shot. That's special.

The photos this month were fantastic everyone. Thanks for showing off a little bit of your talent. There were 3 or 4 photos in here that would have won any other month. Javman really had a special photo.A-MEN to that! I've taken A LOT of pictures and have seen A LOT more and that one is tops!

I'd climbed up to the top of the waterfall and crossed it to the left to take pics of the same goat. After taking pics for about 5 minutes, I stood up to retreat. That's when she (I think it was a nanny?) stood up and started walking towards me. In the time it took the goat to walk 50 feet, I had to cover about at least a hundred yards and hop off the cliff to get to where I took the pic. The first three pics were overexposed, because I'd dialed in +1.0 for the snow earlier. I had to crank that down, then turned on bracketing, and fired 13 more shots in about 10 seconds. There's a few blurry ones :chuckle:
Here's a pic my dad took a few minutes before. He just had a hip replaced 7 months ago, and I think I complained more than he did on this trip...
