I don't know how I missed this photograph in the nomination process, but I did.
I don't like posting in the final fifteen thread which photo I voted for. But I will post that here. This photograph is so well done, evoking a sense of silence, quiet beauty, and acceptance. The pastel palette seems very different than the color ranges of the other fourteen photos in the final fifteen, and its peaceful and gentle qualities belie the harshness of such landscapes and climates--a wonderful use of juxtaposition. This image strikes me as extraordinary, and I'd love to see it take top honors.
Well done, Watrs, and good luck!
