   Great golden / thirds rule framing on the subjects, one of them in motion. Probably straight out of camera too.
   Another good example of resort photographer effect where the guests exceed what pros can do for promoting the place.
   What else, megapix and high end gear does not matter all that much if at all for this kind of right moment shot. ‘Oh if only I had my 5D’, XX etc, but for this, the extra tech level might have degraded it. The staged too sharp look. Some people love that but for these family places and memories good candids of all sorts are better I think, certainly cheaper and getting more and more professional.

   thanks! I always carry a camera with me for that reason. My best shots tend to be serendipity over technology. My DSLR and lenses and blue-gold polarizer has sat in the closet for this entire trip.

   And then the article link, complete with full nutso bible sciences references, but still interesting viz. the word etymology of glory as divine light. Certainly it would not fail to impress with a temple building that is regularly shrouded in a glory or two.
