(43,364 posts)I'm partial to Wilderness Run's big sky, mountains and the train's image of how small we are in their vastness.

(4,395 posts)That is exactly what I was trying to portray.

(4,395 posts)This is actually the original image, which really shows the grandeur of Alaska. I cropped it down to a vertical format for the contest because I didn't think this would work as well on people's cellphones.
What do you think?

(43,364 posts)The original is as perfect as the cropped DU version! Thank you!

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
