  5. Hands down, he is one of my favorites. General, statesman, fantastic fighter, president- the most loyal of friends and the most ferocious of enemies.

    You captured the essence of the man himself, with this one.

  11. Mojo, no...I did not use HDR. I used filter and SPEEDLITE PRO KIT that helps so much to take the real color of the scene, include the light. And really the sky was strange.
    I have taken 60 photos of those scenes...
