Hopefully we can capture some wonderful sunsets as you have captured here...Thanks so much for your continued support of my images!

Good morning, Darryl, and thanks very much for your very kind response to this which I truly appreciate! I'm going to head back to the south side of the island one day this week to see if I can capture a nice pano of a sunset! Will look forward to your shots of the Uintah Mountains and know there will be other exquisite panos from that site coming from you! Much good luck to you with them!Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
