Thanks all for your kind comments. That morning was particularly magical, with the beautiful fog and diffuse light- I didn't feel the least bit guilty lingering a while to soak it in and showing up to work late.
Scott, I used a 50mm lens on a Hasselblad for this frame.
Shawn, one of these days, hopefully not too far in the future, I'll make it out to one of John P.'s gatherings and I look forward to meeting you, sharing prints, and shooting together.
