  Both are just beautiful, Randy. Love the colors, comp. and light. I like more of the sky showing in the second one.

  Both are beautiful but my preference is the one with more sky. It's STUNNING!

  While I like both images, I agreee with Tammy and do like the one with more sky. Either way, they're wonderful OM! When I first saw the thumb, I thought that patch of red was an OM hunkered down. LOL.

  Thanks everyone. Honored. I also like them both, but did follow up on the suggestions above and submitted the second as well, however I think they straddle Sept/Oct.

  Beautiful light and colors, Randy! I like them both. In the one with less sky, I pay more attention to the fog, which creates a nice mood in the image. Congratulations on your finalist, and good luck in the next round!

  Ditto on the "more sky" choice. It's a wonderful feature in SnapShot#609; your explanation helps my learning.
