Sunrise in Cades Cove
I was photographing the sunrise and reflections in this small pond when a group of horses came to visit by the fence. One got thirsty and I was happy about that. I wished he had turned his head a little toward the left.
Some models are so hard to work with.

This is one the most amazing landscape images that I’ve seen recently. It’s so natural (not over-processed). For me, it captures the stunning beauty of America’s topography. A really special find this July 4th holiday weekend. Thanks to Chris for pointing out your work.

this is sooooo beautiful!!!!! I had to laugh when I read you wished he’d turned his head … it’s magnificent the way it is, very natural … but I can see me trying to get him to do something differently and having him just marching off in disgust!!!!!
