I wanted to let everyone know that my image titled, "Alvord Desert Sunrise" was chosen as the winner of the wildlands category of the Oregon Wild 2011 Photo Contest. There were over 400 images submitted this year, so this is quite an honor for me!
I would also like to thank everyone here at PNWNP for all of the info and suggestions you gave to me prior to my trip to this area last winter. I truly appreciate it.

Here is a picture of me with the 20x30 print at the Oregon Wild Photo Contest unveiling/silent auction. At the silent auction to benefit Oregon Wild, the print sold for $160 (a bargain for a 20x30 framed print). This is the first 20x30 print I've had made and I was impressed with how well it turned out.

Congratulations, Scott, on a great win for a fantastic image. It is really gorgeous and worth a whole lot more than was paid for it! Just wonderful work!
Lovely. I was there this summer and kept thinking "this would be much cooler in the winter" (yes, temps and textures!).

Congratulations Scott! I can't believe that beautiful image didn't bring a higher price!

Awesome Scott!! I love that shot!
I also noticed that your shot from the top of Mt. Hood was an Earth Shots pick a while back. Congrats on that too!

Saw the beautiful framed print up for auction at the Oregon Wild presentation in Eugene last night. Very impressive.

Wow. I remember when you first posted this last year, thinking it was the best BHS image I've seen. Congrats on the well-deserved recognition.
