Thanks Yves, Faye, and cUrVe, for your comments. These guys were enjoying a "guy" day away from their families. cUrVe, It was actually a pretty warm day, but the early morning light was fantastic. I left home around 4:40 AM and reach this area by about 8:00. And Faye, I don't think they had caught anything yet, and by their lightheartedness, I don't think they really cared :-) They were definitely out for a day to hang out with their 'buds'.
I'm blown away by the quality of light and the extreme sharpness. Must have been the crisp, clear, cold early morning air that gives it such vibrancy and intensity. - cUrVe
