Maybe it was the lens/film/tripod combination that allows for
the detail. A*200/4.0 macro, Provia 100F, Bogen "Wilderness"
tripod weighed down with bricks, the legs extended only enough
to get the perspective I wanted, and spiked into the softish
ground. Personally, I'm not satisfied with the overall
sharpness of the transparency.

The file is 83,215 bytes, colors are 24bpp (I'm not sure what
that means, but I thought you should know - maybe someone can
tell me what it is)

Not much of one - nothing personal, anyway. I was just driving
down the highway and saw the scene, found a place to park the
car, set things up, and waited for the light and the wind to
be in my favor. I shot some B&W too, but haven't processed it
yet. I think that's in the next two or three rolls in the
processing queue.
Thanks for your comments and kind remarks.
