    How did you Select/choose # 8 and not 9 to enter?

    Awe! the rocks of Arizona and the Colorado River, I think.

    Way to focus, Harry!

    I knew that one was special when I saw it the first time. The contrasting shadow lighting of the sun setting on lake Powell creates the perfect picture against the colorful hues of the bluffs. Way to capture it. Congratulations.
