Welcome to FocalWorld Sandy!

This is a really awesome introductory photo. I really like how those colorful clouds are radiating out from Totem. I would say this is one of the best Totempole photos I have seen.

I look forward to your becoming a part of our friendly community.

Very nice way to introduce your work Sandy. I love the color show for this sunrise and a great place to shoot it from.

Well, will have to have an eye out for future postings from you if this is any indication - what a great capture! Love the comp and the colors, and keeping the Totem in silhouette and not trying to raise shadows gives it a very powerful impact I think.

Thanks so much Jim for your kind comment. I feel very fortunate to have been at MV that morning. As you know sunrises planned months in advance are pretty much a 'crap shoot'. To be there and to be able to photograph it in its glory was such a blessing for me.
