I love the simplicity of this--it reminds me of a Japanese wood block painting. Beautiful color and composition. Congratulations on being a finalist!

Fantastic photo! And thank you for sharing the "backstory", I am frequently frustrated when I see a really great and obviously rare shot and have to simply wonder about how the photographer got the shot. So THANKS!

Thanks Jack. I try to take advantage of the privilege of the "Behind the Lens" opps whenever my pics get awarded and would encourage everyone to do that too.
