Nice image Mark and well captured.
The moon in the reflection doesn\'t look at all natural though.
I recently decided to curtail my Workshops to White Pocket which I had been running since 2005 because the location has just become so over run with photographers and general tourists that the place just lost the special feel of \'wilderness\' about it.
I used to take my groups out there and spend a couple of nights camping to make the most of the sunset and sunrise light that one really needs for great photographic opportunities and we had many of those!
But now it\'s just really \'Disney in the Desert\' and visited by so many people each day. The last time I was there a photo workshop turned up in SIX SUV\'s and deposited around 30 so called photographers for an afternoon shoot!
Nothing is sacred anymore and I am so GLAD that I made my living as a landscape photographer and built up my print collection for clients well before the birth of digital photography and manipulation.
I\'m still selling open edition prints that I originally captured back in 1988 and through the years on 4x5 and 8x10 film to collectors and the public today but noted somewhere on your media websites that you have stopped selling prints. Surely the prints sales of your fine work should be utmost?
I guess the only way to make a living as a Landscape Photographer nowadays is to run workshops.
This tete-a-tete with Mr. Metternich might have been more appropriate in a PM away from the prying eyes of us commoners and snapshooters.
Why... give me ONE good reason why this should be private?
I bet you can\'t!

My assumption at the time of posting was that you might care a little bit about your public appearance but after reading further, I see you have a history of abrasiveness. You seem to have a major disdain for most photographers other than yourself and a few chosen ones. If you don\'t like the hordes visiting your favorites sites, shouldn\'t you take some responsibility for that by having lead some of them to these places yourself for hire?
Amen! And \"ms\" can follow
