I'm sorry dear, but I'm seeing a lot of red. But...Hooray for not flowers! Thanks for something different.

Not quite enough purple, and the focus is on the deer, not the purple leaves.

Comment by Gauti:
good composition
this is obviously a photogenic spot and, as you say, you will not be the first or last to shoot this. Even the wikipedia article on Denali uses the same viewpoint

I feel like the deer is asking "where is the purple?"

Comment by zymara:
Wow, I am so excited by this placing! (and so close to a ribbon, too!) Thanks everyone for the great comments (and scores).

Have to say really quickly that I was dismayed to find out that my photo appears to be almost an exact copy of a previous winner from 2004. My challenge entry history will show that I was inactive on DPC at that time, so I had no idea that photo existed. All I can say is that I would never intentionally copy anyone's work - I simply picked the best vacation photo for this challenge topic. This photo was taken from a popular stop on the Denali park highway - I'm certainly not the first person to get a shot from this vantage, nor will I be the last, lol. :^)

Thanks again, this is incredibly exciting for me.
