I think it is a combination of things. I take pictures to record an event and for the art. I do try to frame the picture to get the most artistic view, but that is not always possible. The real key is to take a lot of pictures. I took 1100 pictures in April from which I choose the 60 or so for the ice out tours. I have a very good camera with a fast shutter and very good lens. I also use Photoshop to straighten a crooked picture (my pet peeve) and to crop out unnecessary information or to get in closer to the subject. Every once in a while a picture comes out of my camera that astounds me. That sunset was one of those rare ones. It came out of the camera that way, only needed a little straightening.

Thanks for the kind words. I had a lot of fun doing the tour.
