This is taken from the observation area at Thatcher Park, Voorhesville, NY. It's a beautiful park with some great views, in the Heldebergs.
Thanks for your votes! Almost a ribbon--missed by .003!
When I saw the challenge, I immediately thought of this tree, which I had photographed last fall. I am going to make a diptych out of the two (or maybe using another shot from the latest session framed more comparably).

Hey, congrats Neil! I really need to get back out to Thatcher to get a shot of this tree... everyone else keeps getting these amazing shots of it! Way to go! :)
I didn't vote much on this challenge, missed this one, which is a shame. I would have had this in first place. Very impressive. If I can get a single shot like this from my copy of the 10-22 then that would be fantastic.
Strong composition. What sets this one apart from so many that have a similar layout is the vastness and hieght to the shot overall. Beautiful editing, beautiful clouds and the depth/height felt from the land so far below is excellent. Bumping this up one to a 9. Great work.
What a day (and place) for a daydream! I like the tones and colors. It looks as though you may have used a polarizing filter without overdoing the effect, I wonder if you could possible tone that effect down slightly and add a slightly warmer feel to photo. I'll be interested to see your shooting data on this. This is the type of scene that makes me want to take the innards out of my D1x and put it in one of my antique 'view' cameras with the f128 apature.
Wonderful! The only nit-pick is the tree looks a bit soft on my monitor, but that is not effecting the score because this is a wonderful shot and it is most likely from resizing if it isn't just my monitor (or my morning blurry eyes!!! MORE COFFEE!!!! LOL) a 10!
