(43,162 posts)I'm partial to Wilderness Run's big sky, mountains and the train's image of how small we are in their vastness.

(4,254 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?

(43,162 posts)The original is as perfect as the cropped DU version! Thank you!
