Congratulations Alfredo. Truly beautiful panoramic.

Also big congratulations to CurtEastPoint, Mz Pip, Tom Kitten, 2naSalit, bluedigger, and everyone else who participated.

They were all so beautiful, and it was very hard to pick just one. You all rock.

Its just lovely, and so reminiscent of the paintings I remember seeing on display in the windows of tiny shops and offered for sale by street artists as we strolled around gawking at everything. Thanks of the memory prompt!

PuppyBismark picked a challenging and interesting theme and, as a result, the entries were all wonderful!

I was happy to help host, though I must admit to being glad it's over.

Very nice photos all!!

And WooHoo! I made it from "not a contender" to 5th place!!

Merely for those who might be interested, it really was sunrise over the Tetons from the Idaho side just north of the Henry's Fork Bridge near Harriman State Park.

I liked all the entries and struggled with picking just one during the voting!
