Wow! My mind immediately thinks you may have a gopher the size of King Kong. ;-)

I love the angle you took this at!!!! what an awesome shot! :D

Nice job--looks big enough for Hobbits
posted September 2nd, 2010  
Cool!! The angle is great and so is the colour :)

Ha ha, great idea and title :-)

woahhh. thats seriously what I thought it was when I saw the thumbnail: a mountain!!!
I especially love the utility pole thing in the background...it makes the picture look more realistic yet its not too obvious. this is greaaattt.
posted September 2nd, 2010  
that's definitely the way it should be done ;) love the colors. great tweaking.

Great shot... I will not show my husband, He is fixated on some moles in our yard who have also created these mountains!

Funny, looks like a mountain from here, really big gopher?
posted September 2nd, 2010  
Miserable creatures and they can do so much damage.
posted September 2nd, 2010  
Great effect, Brad - love it!

When I first saw this picture, I did think it was a mountain and loved the purple mountain majesties. Excellent coloring!
posted September 2nd, 2010  
nice picture
posted September 2nd, 2010  
wonderful, creative idea. BTW, pretty sure that "almost dslr" app will work with G3s. The video buffs really like it in order to stop the ever changing exposure and white balance. It would really be nice if the exposure lock would adjust with a slider but still a very cool app.

Very perdy :)

You and the gopher did a nice job there! (Hope this was "a find" and not in your yard!)
posted September 3rd, 2010  
Very clever!
posted September 3rd, 2010  
So clever, and awesome result!
posted September 3rd, 2010  
Awesome!

:) WTG Brad !

from the thumbnail i thought it was a literal mountain! although, i guess if it's your yard it feels like it.
again, showing my age, but doesn't anyone think of 'caddyshack' when they look at this?! (:
posted September 3rd, 2010  
I really like the lighting, I don't know if it is just my crazy eyes, but the mound seems to have a purple hue to it. Regardless, great shot.
posted September 3rd, 2010  
Very clever Brad,good one!
posted September 3rd, 2010  
and look...there's a Brad electricity tower thingie in the background......its a very Brad picture! Very Good! :)

And yes, Brett, I'm totally thinking Caddyshack...hahaha!
posted September 3rd, 2010  
OMG - what an awesome idea. I could have a gallery full of these puppies if I snapped a picture of every "mountain" in our yard!
posted September 3rd, 2010  
Grrrrrrrr-----gophers!!! You make their "work" look beautiful!
posted September 3rd, 2010  
Brilliant stuff!
posted September 3rd, 2010

hehehe. cool! :)
posted September 3rd, 2010  
That. Is. Cool.

At first I thought this is a field of lavender! Very clever shot!!!
posted September 4th, 2010  
Had me fooled. I love the colors.
posted September 4th, 2010
