 I was out 4-wheeling with my son as dusk was setting. I came across a little clearing at the most perfect time. I pulled over and watched the sun set as my son drifted off to sleep. I managed to get in a few shots in the meantime. Good times & a "zen" moment for me if not anyone else.

Alecia, WOW! I really can't believe this one didn't win a ribbon. This is so zen like -- but more than that, it is fabulous photography! Wonder what goes haywire with the voters sometime. Well, congratulations on the addition of such an exquisite photo to your portfolio. That has to be plenty reward.

Wow. The hazy trees behind the front one push this over the top. So far my favorite of the challenge.

Normally, in my mind, the cool colors make me think zen. Having said that your shot works beautifully and there is nothing cool about it! Well done.

Very nice composition, I like that one tree that is in focus and the appearance of mist in the background.
