beautiful image but it doesn't really fit the challenge in my opinion; sure I can think of ways to make it fit but I get the feeling looking at it that you just happened to take this great photo and wanted to submit it. I'm sure it will do well though as many other voters are like myself and don't weight meeting the challenge high in their voting.
Very nice crisp photo. I like the focus and clarity a lot. The main subject is the creek? I wish it were more interesting looking. To me, the whole photo seems to be the main subject with the creek really only being a small part of it. I like the colors and the clouds formations really add interest to the photo. Overall a really beautiful scene, one I personally don't get to see every day. ~Heather~
