I obtained this image in October this year at Giants Castle. The weather was perfect - lightly overcast which helped to contain the whites and brought with it some detail in the shadows. The soft green background was the result of early summer rains, which brought a first flush of green grass on the mountain side. Could not ask for better conditions:)
