Really fantastic, Ian! The b/w is definitely the way to go with this one. As it downloaded, I thought that it looked so much like the dinosaur skeletons out in Drumheller.

Man, how I would like to get a shot at something like this. You could take thousands and still not reach the full potential of possibilities. Love coming back here again and again.
