This is a great photo taken with modest gear. Goes to show that it is about the skill and taking advantage of an opportunity at a moment's notice

I lived in Eagle Nest, NM back in the summer of 1977. Love the area.

Great capture - I'm surprised you were able to pull this off with the 55-300, which is such a notoriously slow-focusing lens (very sharp though).

Wow! And it was taken with e 'less than pro' camera and a 'kit' zoom. I absolutely love it. Great shot.
