Wow, Gary. I love the comp, lighting, tone and everything else about this image. Nice work. #1512232Gary R. Smith January 31, 2013
Thanks, Susan. We had some heavy fog this morning and while I was driving by, the sun came out and those shacks lit up like a Christmas tree. I was looking for birds and had my long lens on. Good thing because the shacks were quite a distance out on the lake. #10548049Arthur Bohlmann January 31, 2013

Lov'n this, Gary.Merna L. Nobile April 09, 2013
Dear Photo Friend: I feel that something has changed at Better Photo but cannot tell you just what has happened. I have been here since 2003 and most every month I have written to all the winners telling them how their work touches me. I have witnessed photographs that bring tears to my eyes and colors that are unbelievable, now I am worried that like all good things that it will not be here the next time I look.Gary R.
