Comet ISON Teases Me - a photo on Flickriver

Comet ISON Teases Me

            I deliberately left this photograph uncropped, as I wanted the viewer to see just how difficult it was to view this comet in the predawn, moonlit, hazy skies.  In fact I found it by looking at my LCD screen, magnified to determine if I had really captured it.  Though small and subtle at this point, I got totally excited when its blue green head showed up.  No, it isn't as bold and definite as some of the lovely photographs that I have seen on line, but it is "my" comet, and I am thrilled!  And it compels me to try again.
