I should have learned by now to avoid posting pictures here, only to discover how amateurish and poorly done they are, and how much better they would be if taken with a DSLR.

However, I did not take the attached picture, so your slings and arrows will fall on deaf ears this time. [How's that for a mixed metaphor!]

This picture was a snapshot, taken by a fellow kayaker who has shown no noticeable photographic talent in the past. The camera is a $175 point-and-shoot, no viewfinder, 4x zoom, set on full automatic. No tweaking of any kind was done on the shot after it was taken.

All in all, not too bad a photo.
