Into the thick of it

if i hadnt glanced at the camera you used i could have imagined it was a footpath in front of you that you were walking on .. totally changed the way i saw this image ..
its a stunning shot .. it has everything going for it .. composition, interest, a spectacular view .. and loving the 'sun' peaking out behind the mountains .. magic ..
and then the added low clouds or fog ... icing on an otherwise very tasty treat ..
what i particularly love about it is that it looks almost unedited ...
which is saying something .. as i usually like a bit of tweaking .. !! ..
many congrats on the blue .. fits perfectly with your colour scheme .. :)

it's a stunning image .. just for starters ..
then I wonder about the logistics ..!!..
finding the bird .. shooting the bird while painting with light ..
seems like everything came together and you created a masterpiece ..

a bit later ..
FYI ..
"The saying �to boot� comes from an Old English word bot, meaning �advantage� or �remedy.� It�s related to the contemporary English words better and best, so if something�s �to boot,� it�s added or extra. This is part of a complete episode."

this is outstanding .. i should have voted in this challenge but i've had really slow internet so its too much of a pain .. i would have given you a 10 .. it totally fits the challenge and is a magic shot to boot ..
now i'm going to google the original of the saying 'to boot' .. its a weird one .
congrats on fourth place btw and a perfect image for the challenge .. :)
