I knew this would not be considered a "park" by some but it was the best I could do. I was out of town and on the road for the week of shooting. I do have an "outtake" that I'll work up - only a couple of problems: I took it the day before the challenge was announced and in order for it to be a viable entry, I would have to clone out a pretty prominent sign. Sigh.

Thanks, too, to headlesspiderman for the suggestion that the image falls flat here. I agree and have already increased the contrast and brightness for use elsewhere. Is it enough?

Absolutely love the image - but it's not a park, to me

I really wanted to give this image a #10 but it is just missing that umph... The color is too pastel and hazy but I really love the shadows and lines on the hills.

This is actually a great shot but... it's too far from the park theme, i find ;)
