Was this taken during the afternoon at the Grand Tetons? Great shot.

I'm still laughing at this cat. As soon as this challenge was over I immediately scanned through the pictures to see where you had rated. What is different about this one versus the posed pictures is that this is an original. Even if it is a little out of focus, I still think it is great. One of my favourites, that's for sure.

Congratulations!! Last night I was showing my mother in law this and said to her "This one will probably win!" I hope you gave him a treat.:-)

I looked and looked but couldn't see the letter in this one. Where is it?

Thanks for the comments! I had thought about cropping some off the top, but thought the clouds had a nice effect of framing. Guess I should have gone with my instincts. I rushed outside to take this picture from the side of my front yard for the heck of it and experience. Lately I'm making sure to use my tripod more often and it really helps to use one. Someone asked what happened to the sides of the photo. Nothing much really, that was how the picture was taken with the trees framing it on each side.

No wonder it looked familiar, I visited this cemetery 11 years ago. Well worth visiting this Pueblo. The mountains behind it really add to it.

I had given this an 8. I liked the shadows and effect of peeling paint on the walls.

Nice to use cloning, but I can still see circles on the left, with what looks like an orange twig. I love boat shots too, with the vivid colours.
