Well this is slightly bittersweet! I'm honored to receive such nice comments and a fav for this. Missed being in the top 5 by that much!! But hey, I'll take a top 10 any day of the week so thanks very very much for the nice score! I was lucky enough to have this be my first accepted entry into 1x, so between that and a top 10 here, its my most successful pic ever! Yahoo!!

My favorite comment was "ddddddddddddddddddddd". I guess at least it wasn't an "fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff". :)

Such a simple shot but it really screams! Nicely done. The sky, water, and color really makes this stand out. Congrats.
Kind of looks like the Columbia Gorge.

Beautifully executed

Simpe, efficient and effective - a complete technical success with the subtle exposure of detail in the dark areas and the very good capture of the light moving around the mountain. Nordic paganism has a mythology about the Fire Snake moving down a mountain side and this is almost a perfect representation of that from an artistic standpoint. A very good concept perfectly executed.
