I wanted that angle, but was running out of room to shoot, so I crouched down to keep the sun out of the picture. I ended up with some flare, most of which I was able to crop out of the picture. I took several shots at slightly different angles, and since it was digital (Canon 30D, 17-40 f/4.0 L) I was able to see what worked best then and there. Thanks for looking and commenting, Best Regards, Ira
