Maybe if you included a subtitle along the lines of:  "Shot # 241 out

settle down and the sun to come out and finally get low enough to 
produce the modelling I was after,"  you'd get more reaction.  ;-)

After watching the master at work later in the mornig of this shot, I have 
to 
think Doug is VERY patient and only shoots when he is ready.  I think he has 
very few misses.  I certainly learned a bit on how he works that morning.
