Just getting around to responding as I was out of the country for 9 days - returned to 1968 emails from the PDML!
Frank, I'm really flattered by your choice of my image as best of the month (December). This image and numerous other "keepers" were the result of 2 evenings and 1 morning at White Sands National Monument, in New Mexico. This place really suits my style of outdoor photography - isolate & simplify. It was by far my most "profitable" (in terms of keepers) shoot I've ever had. I highly recommend the place. I have that image blowed up to 13" by 19" (limited by my Epson 2000P) and I would like it even larger.
