I was so enthralled by the beauty of the scene I didn't even notice the white bands until this moment. Congrats, Anita.

Beautiful postcard scene. Congrats on the ribbon! I agree about the white bands but perhaps the aspect ratio works better for you with the bands.

i'm going to copy and paste what i just wrote to paul after rollover ...
think i need a sedative now .. lol .. joke .. !! ..

i literally had 40 mins to vote on this challenge before rollover .. and also as you know slow internet ..
i finished voting with two minutes to spare .. i'm so glad i saw this .. and a couple of others in the last few minutes ..
i had voted a couple of days ago on two pics that i gave very high votes ..
but hadnt got in to vote on the rest .. i felt i had to finish .. how shitty if my high votes didnt get in ..
also i'd hate it if someone voted high on a few photos and never got in to vote on the rest .. and might have given me a high vote .. so i was stressing out when rollover was a few minutes away and i had maybe five to vote on ..
thats a long story .. lol .. !! .
anyway .. you may have noticed a high rise near the end .. that would probably have been me ..xx..

ANYWAY .. CONGRATULATIONS on the ribbon .!!. so totally deserving .. its a stunning photo .. :)

I remember this tree, or one of its also gracious siblings.
Here its top is partly obscured by the harsh line of landscape but as a postcard my only idea would have been to write the place in smaller characters and not in italics. For what's worth.

Beautiful shot, subtle colors. Personally I would not have included the white bands at the top and bottom. Nevertheless great card top 3
