Great image, Kimo. Lots of great images on there, but of course I voted for Kimo's image of the Crestone Needle........kinda partial to that peak.

We have a lot of very, very talented people on this website and you are certainly one of them. Absolutely GREAT picture of what has become my favorite mountain.
I take the mountain climber's approach to housekeeping - don't look down

Wow - very nice shot. Congrats on the feature.

Question: How big is/will it be when displayed?

Kimo ... how wonderful for you to be duly recognized for your stellar photography. I just called The Man and let him know and he told me to pass on his accolades. =D> You (and Anna) are in our hearts and thoughts more than you know. Take care and happy trails! :-D
As if none of us have ever come back with a cool, quasi-epic story instead of being victim to tragic rockfall, a fatal stumble, a heart attack, an embolism, a lightning strike, a bear attack, collapsing cornice, some psycho with an axe, a falling tree, carbon monoxide, even falling asleep at the wheel getting to a mountain. If you can't accept the fact that sometimes "s**t happens", then you live with the illusion that your epic genius and profound wilderness intelligence has put you in total and complete control of yourself, your partners, and the mountain. How mystified you'll be when "s**t happens" to you! - FM

Great pic of a great peak. Well done & congratulations.
I have more age than experience, more experience than knowledge, and more knowledge than wisdom.

Thanks for sharing that. Very nice photo of the Needle. I'm not sure if Kimo will see it but hopefully he will. I always appreciated his photography skills.
