Comment by joanns:
Thank you all for liking my photo. I was determined to find some snow for this shot so I got in the car and drove to Snoqualmie Pass, east of Seattle. I hit some very thick fog and could barely read the highway signs so not wanting to go any further, I pulled off on the next road where I saw a sign to Alpenthal ski area. I saw this amazing creek as I was driving up the snowy road. A lot of you commented on this being a nice b & w shot, in fact, it is living color. It was very foggy. Thank you again -- I got my first ribbon!

A lovely bright cheery photo... And it meets the challenge theme. Did you custom print the background or was it something you had handy? Great photo.

A lovely scene. I really like the composition on this. The tree taking up the right side of the frame, and the 'path' down the middle are very strong.

Absolutely beautiful! I especially love the mist in the distance... so atmospheric. It's just perfect. I can't fault it, and I love looking at it. I have to give it 10.

Very nice picture. I love the fade-off into the haze.

Looks like a classic greeting card shot. I wish the tips of te first 3 trees on the left were just a tad darker and more distinct, but the rest of the trees fade perfectly. Would also look great run through a "painting" filter.
This is apparently not the same Rocky Creek where I've taken some photos...
