Crosswinds is always a great vantage point for photographing the Badger as she heads in or out of the Ludington channel. The soft pastel colors of the sky matched the tones of the flowers and grass in the foreground. I then tried to micro-compose where the tips of the dune grass fell in this scene, along with the small fishing boat.  I also timed it so the green light was on inside of the Ludington North Breakwater Light.
