Thanks for all of the comments - very much appreciated, especially since they come from photographers/friends whose photos I have admired over the years. This photo would not have been nearly as good as it is if the snow plow drivers had not made a row of snow piles 8-10 feet high allowing one to photo over the chain link fence!
