Michelle Alton August 25, 2011

You have produced a wonderful collection of photos using super-wide angle lenses shot with the camera on the floor or ground. This is absolutely stunning, Ken. Just made to be POTD, for starters! #1403575

Mary Timman August 25, 2011

Neat shot, good thinking. Looks quite different from down there. Awesome sky! #9626480

R. J. Laudenbacher level-classic August 25, 2011

This is fabulous Ken and your DOF and sharp details clear through the shot is fantastic. Wonderful work! #9626488

Claudia Kuhn level-classic August 25, 2011

Great perspective Ken! Cool! #9626558

Linda D. Lester level-classic August 25, 2011

I'm with Michelle and others -- a big WOW from me, too. The use of the stripe would be enough but it's just the starter here. The sky and sunburst are gorgeous and the majesty of the Tetons is secondary -- how can that be? #9643359

Tamara K. Walker level-classic August 30, 2011

Well if you're going to play in traffic I guess this is the way to do. Magnificent! #9643725
