 This is my hubby and my friend on a cold, windy, winter hike to the Loch Vale in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was so incredibly beautiful... and such a happy memory... it somewhat made up for the cold toes and nose. :)

Wow! I really thought this was a longshot. I'm a Texan, and when I go to the Rockies, it's usually in late summer or fall, so I don't get much experience shooting winter landscapes. I am stoked to win a ribbon! THANKS, voters!

I usually prefer landscapes without people but this beauty is absolutely perfect the way it is. Many congrats on your Red, Sandy.

It’s beautiful, and with more color than the average winter landscape. The people create a nice focal point. Congratulations!

Very pretty. This would make a lovely postcard.

My pick for red in this challenge. The use of people in a landscape I often find distracting, but here it seems to work for scale -- the mountain is more exciting because of the size contrast.
