Thank you everyone. I took a lot of shots of the comet. I admits I worked a lot harder, getting up early, hiking for some other shots but got lucky with this one off our back deck. For what it’s worth, it is a single shot, not a composite, only some minor dodge and burn in Capture One. Mother Nature gets most of the credit, I was just fortunate to be able to capture the moment. Thanks again, and kudos for the other entries, some fabulous photos!
