This is the second in what I plan to make a personal Challenge. This year armed with a National Parks pass and a minivan, I plan to explore Utah, California, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, and possibility Montana. The National Parks? Zion, Grand Canyon, Arches, Brice Canyon, Yosemite, and hopefully Yellowstone. I want to show that I live near the greatest places to visit, but because of the choking smog we cant see them in all their majesty . This does not only effect me but all of us, and all our children yet to come.

very nice image, and great project! i think the forground here is a little distracting - it could either be cropped out, or darkened a bit. at the moment, it's the clearest thing in the image, and draws the eye, when you really want the viewer to look deeper. also, darkening it would really bring out the atmospheric perspective, which is lovely here.

Ah, but the game isn't over yet - with responsible use Mother Nature can make a comeback (and maybe even without it, though I'm not sure it is wise to take that risk) - look at the forests in the North East, the rivers in Ohio & New York.

Maybe it is intentional, but the picture looks a bit washed out.

Ouch! Nice title. The shot could use more contrast.
