Hi cmoekim and welcome to our friendly forums here at DPS. Well you are new and I am not new and you my friend have made me so jealous with your first post. It was a shot like this one that made me take up photography and as of yet never managed to get the shot myself. You do it with your first post and what a shot it is too. Truly excellent and what a way to start. I look forward to seeing more of your great work. Enjoy your time here and I am sure you will have fun.

Jake.
