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!!!

Nikki McDonald November 16, 2009

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. #8136948

AEK December 04, 2009

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. #8190725
