At the ready, in stealth mode! The soft light and color in the sky add to this image.

Morkel - I enjoy seeing the landscape around your subjects. Many of us (me included) tend to zoom in tightly to the subject but I enjoy your compositions much more. Looks pretty dry out there. Steve

Thanks for your kind comments, folks.
Steve, I appreciate your comment as I have a great passion for showing context and story more than just going in tight for portraits. Those have their place, for sure...but it's just part of my own style I'm trying to develop.
