It was shooting this image that I saw first hand how brilliant of a photographer Ryan Dyar is. I shot several different images from a few spots while Ryan stood back and patiently waited. Finally, when I was done, he walked back, plopped his camera down and fired off one frame. His composition was, in a world, brilliant
