The Little Bear River, near my home on a lovely, warm winter morning. Wow.
PP: This began quite dark, but Autocolor helped to fix it. I selected the sky and cleaned it up with a slight blur, then did the same with the water. My sensor is SUPER dirty, so I had to clone out a bunch of yuckies. I applied Unsharp Mask at a large pixel radius of 90 and a small percentage of about 40%, this really woke it up. I then selected the tree with a large feather and lifted the mid-tones so we could see it better. Resized, sharpened, added border, and saved for web.
Thanks to Larus for recommending this lens to my wife when she got it for my birthday! Wow!

New acronym for me, but WOW is used a lot. Very nice landscape, good composition, interesting sky. The pixel size allowed here doesn't do it justice, I'm sure.
That's a tough one. Without the descriptive title it would be quite difficult to figure out what your acronym means (except to subliminally think WOW, as in great, good, etc.) It's a very nice photo, well processed and composed. Too bad you didn't leave the acronym guessing up to the viewer.
Well, I like the image but is it an acronym or the opposite of it? Don't worry, for me the image itself is more important than how close it meets the challenge.
Beautiful landscape, I really like the soft movement of the clouds. The very bright area on the L tends to attract too much attention and might have been better cropped out. Nice job though
