Wow, Stephen. Not only an amazing capture, but everything about it is so very well done - colors, clarity, composition. The subject - well, I hope I can get my mouth closed sometime tonight! Congratulations on this one. It's a bright and shining Gold in my book. #1532158

Yes, Rita, he did make some kind of decision. Here's his next step. But I don't know if he made it to the top, Usman. It would have taken all day to find out. I came across this at a traffic stop. This was the entertainment. The East entrance to Zion has a mile-long tunnel that occasionally gets turned into a one-way street when a large RV wants to go through. I just happened to catch this at the right time.

Rita, the blue is from the polarizer. This happens to be a straight-out-of-the-camera JPG. Pretty impressive.

Thought you all might be interested in a closer view. #10732247
