This is my favorite of the three. I prefer more contrast to make it "pop" but that just may be my taste. Overall an excellent image. One I would be proud to call my own.

Michael, I would agree on your three submissions being graphic. As the host of the photoGRAPHIC challenge , I tried to conclude on what makes a photograph "graphic" here.

Thanks guys/gals. ISO...can you kinda explain what "graphics" mean? I always thought it as a "high-contrast" look to an image...

Beautiful shot! You have a wonderful eye for creating this kind of image! The composition and color must be "just right" to make an exceptional image and you've done it all to perfection. Shu

Nice composition. Like the triangle caused the shadow. The distant lonely tree is awesome.
