Ron,

Nice image! I am accustomed to seeing snow in all my pictures this time of year so your images are a welcome change.

Is your image cropped much or how much optical zooming was required to frame this image at such a distance?

Thanks for sharing.

One more shot with a different pose and a little more contrast.

Not bad for that distance.
Looks like there may have been some heat distortion radiating from the ground smearing things a bit. :C
