"Sunset Through a Wizened Ponderosa Pine"
By Mel Holloway

"Mel's photo encompasses the feeling that surrounds me when I think of a sunrise or a sunset. The warmth, and the beauty of the photo does this 100%. I had taken a very similar photo to this one about a year ago. My mother, who is at the final stages of her life, used my photo as her background image on her computer, and it continues to be. So, in honor of my mother, I choose this photo, knowing that she would love it and it would give her the same feeling that I get when I look at it. There were several photos that encompassed the warmth and beauty of a sunrise or sunset in the submissions, but this was the one that gave me the extra feeling of my mother saying: "This is beautiful!" - Scott Michael Anna
