This must have been taken over Hernandez NM, or perhaps Yosemite. A great
spirit looking down, certainly.

Geoff,

That is very interesting.  This evening I saw a similar image.  While I
admire the M8 and everything Leica, and wish I had one, I believe you will
agree that this image would not have been possible  without the resolving
power of the Canon 70-200 2.8L IS:
