Honorable Mention: Walter Otto Koenig, October 23 Photo.


Honorable Mention: Szczepan, Milford Sound Track.


Honorable Mention: Gil Kopy, Polson Park.


Honorable Mention: Markus Grompe, Deep Woods.


Third Place: Jeff B. Hoh Rainforest.Looks like this mossy forest is animated and headed somewhere else. Well done.


Second Place: Marisa Livet, Scenic Sunset of a Winter Day. The silhouette against the beautiful sunset shows how this large, arching tree defines a place along the shore.


First Place: Ken Zaret, Stand of Aspen Trees. Perfect show case of an Aspen forest.The light is perfect for white bark, the composition and focus provide a real sense of depth and distance. Great photograph.

Thanks very much for the choice of my photo. Great topic and there were many creative entries!
My shot was taken on a tripod with a tilt-shift lens, with a lot of shift to get the trees straight from where I was standing. I haven't used the lens near as much as I should.
I will enter another contest tonight.
Hey everyone, we have reached 500! That's a lot! But I am honored to be with so many great photographers on this forum.
