Congratulations to you Mike for the EP selection in the M&N category for this week. Certainly a very peaceful looking scene and extremely well captured as can be viewed from the link listed below.
Congrats Mike, the way those trees criss-cross is fantastic, with the little table hidden in there.. just beautiful!

Wow stunning colors. The shapes formed by the tree trunks are really cool.

... I unlike other commenters, I like the table and the deer, they enhance the scene.
I think as a large print it would look stunning and give a great sense of dimension, diving into the photo. Of course with NP's postage stamp submittal it doesn't really come out.
Well deserved.

Hi all
Thanks for the encouragement! It really means alot. I went back out there last weekend too and it was a much foggier scene. Not quite as sweet as the one I posted. What I thought was a deer could actually be a Llama because there were 3 of them out there the second time. Gonna have to take a closer and find out for sure. Anyhow, thanks again.

That's a beautiful image, MIke, and very deserving of the EP.

What a magical image this is... I missed this one the first time around. Glad I caught here. Good stuff!
