Image above is a cropped version from included photo. Thought it left a little more to the imagination. Comments welcome. #1489381Tammy M. Anderson September 30, 2012
Both are just beautiful, Randy. Love the colors, comp. and light. I like more of the sky showing in the second one. #10348132Randy D. Dinkins October 01, 2012
Thanks Tammy - after uploading and having a chance to see side-by-side, I think I agree with you. It was a beautiful Harvest moon morning to be out. -Randy #10348494Jeff Robinson October 01, 2012

Gorgeous scene, Randy (both of them)!! #10348696Dayna Cain October 02, 2012
Both are beautiful but my preference is the one with more sky. It's STUNNING! #10351066Daniel Ruf October 08, 2012
Beautiful work, Randy. You just keep making things happen. #10361206Terry Cervi October 10, 2012
While I like both images, I agreee with Tammy and do like the one with more sky. Either way, they're wonderful OM! When I first saw the thumb, I thought that patch of red was an OM hunkered down. LOL. #10363322Becky J. Parkinson October 28, 2012

Beautiful light and colors, Randy! I like them both. In the one with less sky, I pay more attention to the fog, which creates a nice mood in the image. Congratulations on your finalist, and good luck in the next round! #10391801Deborah Lewinson October 29, 2012
