that is really cool photo manip great job

Beautiful..

Nice work on the tree! IMHO the foreground mist effect is a bit too much, and might have benefitted by having a few streaks of ground fog added with some brush work.

And congrats again!

Congrats for your third place!

this picture should be for national geographic... great capture!

Odd indeed, would have been great in upside down contest too.

Nice shot Author. I know what you mean by right place, time and settings for sure.
I spend much time in the wild and really do appreciate this image. great capture

Did you mean "trough," for where it is sitting, or is "Troff" a special breed of goat?

Very nice. Lucky catch. You might want to reduce the yellows just a little

Beautiful High Key... and model...

good catch !

I would be proud if my photo was so good that they thought it was altered.

This is a very good photo. Glad ya got it straightened out.

LOL !! All they would want if they suspected trickery would just be the exif tag for the photo. and the info on that tag tells the whole story.

so cool, great work and idea

Awesome = )

Very nice mood and lights author. Great one

Wow! Never seen a bull with such large horns before!

nice shot... even the reflection has flare

Great shot !

Awesome! Great entry.

Congrats

This is why I remembered it so well, because it was such a great pic., and author I too had to remove a picture once for the same reason, as I use my pets as my subjects quite often.

...thank YOU!, but...simply put, good work IS good work, you did VERY well here...congrats!

EDIT: The borders don't seem as important here in this image on second thought, as the colors (blue/brown) tend to create a decent separation of the images...

Great one, I like the lights on it. Good luck author

Very beautiful Author, wonderful place from all the photos I've seen, hopefully I can get a few days there to spend myself someday...

Nice mix of overall and detail shots....very important...great exposures and inclusion of other people since this is a rather popular area in the US.

My only (rather nit-picky) suggestion is...maybe a small border between the images so they don't "mush" together? Thats just a personal preference though...Nicely Done

Very nice, I like that you have the views and the close ups of this beautiful place =)

Good shot.

Congratulations on 1st place, well deserved, not only is it a lovely photo, but you obviously put a lot of effort into it.

Wonderful shot...I like how you included the people in the shot instead of just the average 'just the view' shot

That would have been me...

Hasn't a similar photo been recently used in the national emblem photos?

Perfect timing!

Lovely

You are quite right, and I would appreciate if you red flag them when you see them. We have got a little kinder lately and let some stay, if they are at least a few weeks apart. However, as your photo won last week, and the girl was so remarkable, it really did stand out.
The photo you removed was also stunning, give it a few month and try again.

While this photograph is stunning, the little girl was just recently used in another contest, thus revealing your identity author. Maybe be you can retake the picture, change her hair style, and the dress if possible.

"author says: Source 1 provides a link to the original."
sorry missed that, Really well done.

Great Job Congrats!

Very nice job!

Lovely, any chance of a link to the original or copy of it in the SBS.

wouldn't want to mess with him.

Love this photo!

AMAZING

breath taking

lovely mood

very original, bravo

Impressive shoot and atmosphere, some chromatic disturb on the fur in high res. Take care if you can! Good luck.
