"Garden of the Gods - Pikes Peak"
I got up at 5:00am and headed for the Mesa Overlook to take this shot in the early morning light. It was freezing cold, and overcast. I decided to stay anyway, thinking the sun would burn through the cloud cover. During an hour and a half, I had about 10 minutes of light on the rock formations! This is a 13 shot pano, achieving a 33" x 9" print size at 300dpi with no upsizing! Take a look at 'original' size. Lots of details, although it still does not compare to the image prior to reduction for web display.

This shot won a POTD at www.digitalphotocontest.com on January 21, 2004!
