Thanks David. 1993 is a composite of two photos. The clouds did not light up until after the sun had set on half dome. So, I cheated. 2087 is this tree at the end of Happy Isle's trail and I have looked at it on many trips back there and decided to give it a try this time since I had the 100 APO attached and it appeared to fill the bill. I am looking almost directly into the sun, and that lens performs well under any conditions. In the past, I have had other lenses and have not attempted that show. I just thought the light on the young leaves and the dark shadows behind could be interesting. Glad you liked my effort.
