Congrats, all! Definitely three worthy images, and I'm not at all surprised that Aspen Vista came out as #1. And congrats to all us also-rans too, there was no shortage of shots to like!

Congratulations to the winners and all the entrants. Pam and others are right, it was nearly impossible to narrow it down to 3 images. And thanks to Scott, Jack, et al for setting this up on such short notice. Great job guys.

WOW! Thanks guys! Pretty humbling considering all the fantastic entries. Thanks to Scott for all the hard work putting this together and thanks for all the great advice and pointers I've gotten since I've joined.
By the way, (shameless plug alert) if anyone local wants to see the finished product I've got a 5 foot version of it hanging at Artistica, 1720 Wazee downtown in LoDo.

Fantastic images, and congrats to the winner Russ S. All those Sneffles shots seem to have picked up the votes this year, and deservingly so...
BTW David K, your vertical image of the Sneffles Divide in snow was by far my favorite shot. Awesome DOF..Felt like I was right there.. Just stunning!
