Yes, luck is good.

Napoleon is quoted as saying something like, "I would rather have a lucky general than a great general.".

I firmly believe that most of my better pictures are the result of a very large dose of luck. Yours are the result of a large portion of skill. Really nice.

Thanks Mike as a wise man once said "I'd rather be lucky than good." Practice the skills and pray for luck. Sometimes we get both.
