Peaches- BBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Damn mean machines. Excellent work here girl. Fabulous pov. It is sad, but if it saves lives, I guess it has to be done. Wonderul clarity and lighting. Love the way the ditails caught the thread tracks. Superb coloring. Details are outstanding and really show whats going on. Textures give it that final wow factor. Have a super day, take care, be safe my friend.

Great shot Peaches. I like all the layers of the hill, and the three machines working so hard. Remarkable shooting considering your fear of heights. You wouldn't want to do what I did several times then...parasail at about 400 feet being towed behind a little boat. And they would actually slow down so you would begin to drop until your feet touched the water, then they would speed back up and take you back up in the air. It was fun, but the first time, I was up there for over 30 min because they couldn't get me down! (long story there)

Peaches, you've got a fantastic eye--to see and compose this as an EoD image. Beautifully done and congrats on the EFP! Oh wow--I looked back and saw my previous comment suggesting entering this in EoD if it didn't go further in CA! I think you're on to something here, Peaches--fingers crossed for you! :D

Great shot! I don't understand why everyone is so upset about the cutting of the hill. If it wasn't for the road cuts, us geologists would have never seen these amazing details of our planet and this picture might not have been as powerful visually. Just think of it as the work that the Colorado River did to the Grand Canyon... now is that really a bad thing... Just thought I throw in my 2 cents, have a great day everyone!
