Outstanding!!!

It'd make a great background if you allowed me to use it.

Thanks for your nice words Martin.
If i remember well,i must`ve been around 30 feet , the picture is 50% crop (apr).
I also need to say that there was a deep gap between me and them.

Background?
As long as its for personal use , i don`t see why not.
And if you want the larger file just send me your email address.
