Definitely luck, my dear. It's about the sixth photo I've taken in a dozen years. Of course, since it's Yu's camera, it has lots of inspiration left inside. (Thanks for posting it for me, Madame Proprietrix.)
I usually know when you're pulling my leg, AA. It really was luck (or proof of my maxim that any old monkey can take a nice photo most days). Yu has seen the original, in color, but has been too busy with visiting sons, bad knees, and test-making, to react profusively. (Perhaps he's also trying tough-love with me, to keep my head from swelling excessively.)
Thanks, Janet and Collin. Now, if I could only get my finger to wait until the green light goes on, I might be in business with that camera (or, mess up the serendipity and inspiration).
That really is a fantastic photograph. Probably just luck, huh?

I was only pulling your leg about the luck part. The shot is very artistic. Has Yu seen it?
