Carla and Mike, thanks so much. I was quite surprised by this one 'cause it came out a bit less dramatic than I'd hoped. #9038168Ellen H. Robertson November 15, 2010

Interesting picture, Dale. Congratulations. #9038653Dale Hardin November 15, 2010
Thank you Ellen and Stephen. It looks as if Jeff rec'd a finalist from about the same spot while we were on this shoot. #9039219Jeff E Jensen November 15, 2010
Hey, hey, hey, I like this Dale :o) #9039367Dale Hardin November 15, 2010
Thought you like this Jeff. Your finalist and this one are brothers. #9039914Jeff E Jensen November 15, 2010
Not sure how I feel about having to go up against you. . . . . #9039916Anthony L. Mancuso November 16, 2010
Congrats Dale...how cool that you guys a finalist from the same locale! #9042085Dale Hardin November 16, 2010
Thank you Tony. It was a neat place for photos. #9042978Jeff E Jensen November 16, 2010
So, either this is a sky replacement, or you found a spot that I can't remember. There were a couple of places that had these rows of columns, but I remember them all having buildings/doorways at the end, not open sky.My shot is from the back side, by the gift shop. If you recall, we had to wait for the grounds keeper to sweep up some dirt and there was a bride and groom having their portraits taken down the walkway to our left. #9043041

Good eye Jeff. That is a sky replacement and this was shot at the West wall facing South. I've enclosed the shot that was taken when I was with you on the East side facing North. #9043066Merna L. Nobile November 18, 2010
I would personally like to congratulate you on your winning photograph for October, 2010 and wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. Merna Nobile #9050141Dale Hardin November 18, 2010
Thank you Merna. #9050263Aimee C. Eisaman November 20, 2010
Congrats Dale! I'm always amazed at how two photograhers can shoot the very same place and come up with such different images. :~) #9052960Dale Hardin November 20, 2010
Me too. And when you're with Jeff, you have to be on your toes to get a shot even close to his. LOL It's kinda like a mini-competition and a maxi-sharing views experience all rolled into one. #9053261Jeff E Jensen November 20, 2010
Now Dale, I'd be willing to bet that if we went back and compared notes, your images from our shoots have done better than mine. #9054300Stan Kwasniowski December 15, 2010
