David wins a one year (4 issue) extension to his subscription theVideo Journal, with $100, as well as a chance to win free attendance at a futureLuminous LandscapefieldWorkshopó worth $1,000.

By coincidence, this photograph was taken during the last evening of myFall Colour WorkshopinGreat Smoky National Parklast October. David used aCanon D30to take this photograph.
