Great work, Ed! Love the position of those two trees next to that towering trunk! Well shot! That smoke adds such an allure & happy to know it's controlled. :0) #814280

Thanks, everyone. Funny story about this 2nd and the 2nd that I got last month. I entered both in a local juried nature photo exhibit this month. Roughly 1 in 4 of all entries were accepted. Of three judges, not one voted for either of these two images (however, 2 of my 6 - poorer than these two IMO - were selected). Go figure. Can't take competitions & judging too seriously if you value your sanity. #5395457
