Thanks everyone. This is really cool that I finally won a ribbon :). I took this shot over at Mission Ridge, by Wenatchee, Washington. I was up skiing and it was a nice day, sun shining and everything. I waited until it was a bit in the afternoon and the sun was over to the side, and I started shooting photos here and there. I was skiing down and I came across some trees with the sun shining through, so I climed up through them and up a ways to this. "Wow." I started shooting. I tried shooting with the horizon not centered, but the trees didnt follow the rule of thirds and it just looked strange, so I chose this shot, where I tried to fit the trees in equal portions of the frame. I overexposed it +0.7 on the meter and then used the levels in Photoshop to tone it down a bit/ increase contrast. I set the apeture as small as it could go (8) and focused about 20m away, so that everything would pretty much be in focus. Set the speed to 500. I was about waist deep in snow when I took this :-p. One thing I probably should have done was to crop out the tree on the far right that is just barely in the frame, but I guess it isn't too distracting. I had just enough time to get it in and photoshop it; I submitted this about 10 minutes before the cutoff time :).

I think that the shot is pretty creative... nice way you did the background.. but, in my opinion, maybe try cropping it a bit so that the flowers fill more of the screen? just a thought though.. but im surprised at the score it recieved.. i think it should have been higher

on the other hand, IGJOE< this is a good shot. very creative. I would have expected this to place higher!
