What a stunning photograph! … and when I read that it was one ‘caught on the fly” I was rather jealous because even the shots I wait and wait for aren’t that good!
Really though: well done, excellent shot, great colour and composition.
I know exactly what you mean. I set up the tripod, fiddle with the camera settings, time my photo shoot to get the lighting I think I need for the subject and take 100’s of photographs and…….. no exceptional shot. And that colour, is the colour of the sky that evening. We were having some crazy beautiful sunsets that month.
I just happened to grab the camera on the way out the door. We were taking our dog for her regular walk. Usually I use my phone to grab anything worth posting on instagram. At least then if I see something that makes me say “That would make a great shot”, I don’t miss out completely.
Thanks for your kind comments kiwidutch.:-)
Thanks oneowner. One of those lucky shots. I thought it would turn out blurry because I swung around and raised the camera so quickly when I spotted them.
a great image, composition and shading to match… but only seen at it best if readers click the visit button on the WP Reader page….otherwise they get a blank piece of the sky to look at in the reader. I had hoped WP would have appreciated that photographers a full image not a precise of random selection.

Thanks for taking the time to click on the visit button and for you comment David. Yes it is a pity only part of the shot is displayed.
