gosh .. seeing these two creatures together and capturing them in one shot must have been a wonderful experience for you ..
actually three creatures participated in this shot ..
the photographer and the two he photographed ..
your patience paid off .. :)

one of my very favourites in this challenge .
i'm loving the intense foreground colours .. and the soft pastels in the mountains .. the contrast contributes to the feeling of distance .. which really fits with your title .. :)
