WOW, Mitch!!! How magnificently beautiful is this place we've been given to enjoy! Too bad we have taken this Gift for granted for so many years. You have really captured all this beauty with all its colors, lines and depth so well in your photograph, Mitch. Wonderful job!!!

  This couldn't be more spectacular, Mitch! The beauty of the smoky blue ridges and then the green Mountains and the gold and THEN A DEER? MAN! This has it all! Even your sky had drama and weight.

I bet you really love this one as much a we do! :D !!!

  Can't not say anything about the rich jewel tones -- WOW. What I like especially are the repeated triangles creating the zig-zag lines leading us deep into this scene. Love the low-hanging clouds and mist lighting up the distant peaks and subtle interest the deer adds to the foreground. Wonderful.

  you know, I just came back to look at this because I wanted to save it and i'm reading the comments. who's judging to have missed this??? are they hitting every 50th image? I understand why my crazy graphics of late don't get a nod - but they're fun to do - but this is a winner - that's so obvious. - very irritating.

  Thank you, thank you, thank you. I wish I could be back there right this minute, although now that I think about it, I suspect the weather isn't nearly so nice at the moment. :)
