Beautiful image,Paul!!! #10208378Carol Teal June 30, 2012
Stunning! #10208441Dennis Behm July 01, 2012
Superb image, Paul! I like the complementary colors, and the triangle formed by the horizon and the shoreline. #10208629Paul R. Nelson July 01, 2012
Thank you, Arthur, my friend. Thank you also Mike, Carol and Dennis. Everything came together just right, for which I am very grateful, and thankful I was there at the right time. Lake Superior was unusually calm, I never anticipated seeing the sun lighting up the Northern horizon, and I not only captured a meteor, but also Jupiter rising in the lower right corner. I can't take credit for most of that. #10208739

Thank you, Philip. I've gone out several times hoping to catch meteors during various meteor showers just to have it cloud up, so this one means a lot to me, even if it was just due to luck. #10209590Christina N. Seuser July 01, 2012

Thank you, Christina, thank you Kim; I appreciate you taking the time to let me know you like this. #10211540Howard Eisenberg July 18, 2012
I love the color in addition to the composition. The shooting star really adds to the overall image as well. Great image! #10235505Paul R. Nelson July 18, 2012
Thank you Howard. I especially appreciate you taking the time to let me know what you appreciate about this image, and I agree about the meteor. I have a number of others without it, and they don't have the same impact. I feel fortunate to have captured the meteor and that it is where it is; anywhere else wouldn't work as well. #10235565Memoriee G. Sconce July 30, 2012

Congratulations on this well-deserved award, Paul. This is fantastic news and I am delighted to join in the applause. Way to go! #10253309Paul R. Nelson July 30, 2012
Thank you, Susan. The notice of this was one of a couple high points in an emotionally challenging weekend. #10253406Susan Williams July 30, 2012
Spectacular accomplishments are always balanced by a degree of humbleness. The real prize is the one we quietly carry inside, remembering the feeling of being there while the camera did its work. #10253524Paul R. Nelson July 30, 2012
From that perspective it is already a prize-winning image as it was a very memorable and enjoyable night; Lake Superior was calm, the sky was beautiful, and I had it all to myself. #10253632
