Holy cow!! There's being in the right place at the right time, but you still have to be able to capitalize on that! Truly amazing shot, Robert! The clarity of the moment is stellar. I could ask for the exif info, but only as a matter of curiosity. I don't think I'd ever be able to duplicate anything approaching this one. A hearty congrats to you!
