Wonderful picture with beautiful brilliance and sharpness. I like the framing of blue at top and bottom, with the green as a separator in the middle.

Lovely, Dan! A clean and crisp image and the colours are good, too. Just one question: wasn't it possible to use a landscape (horizontal) format here? I somehow think that may have produced an even better photo... But I really like this as it is, anyway!

That's a great pic Dan. Could you tell us more about "2ND". A neutral density filter I assume. I've heard of these being used before, for example, to increase exposure time when shooting running water, as I gather without it the scene is readily over-exposed. Do you normal use such a filter when shooting in good weather? How does it differ in function from a skylight/ polarizer? Is it something we all should add to our kit. Do tell ;-)
