The pastoral photo of two horses, a deer and a tree taken by Richard A. Lipski and published in the Metro section on Oct. 29 is a superb reflection of the tranquil beauty that surrounds the metropolitan D.C. area. Really darn well done.
I realize that it is not a "news" photo. Even so, I think such photos should grace the front page more than some of the sports photos that have been featured. It is a nice relief from the severe tragedies that so often appear, of necessity, in The Post. Congratulations to Mr. Lipski and The Post.

You published the article "In pre-dawn darkness, Obama salutes victims of war" and an accompanying photo on Page A2 on Oct. 30. The same day, on your front page, you published a three-column photo with the heading: "Escaping to the wilds of Washington" with a caption about Rock Creek in the District and its autumn leaves.
What a poor choice on your part. The article about President Obama's surprise trip to Dover Air Force Base, where he witnessed the return of 18 Americans killed that week in Afghanistan, and the accompanying photo belonged on the front page, and the photo of Rock Creek Park should have been moved to a different page.
You give priority to the autumn leaves in Rock Creek Park rather than honor the great Americans killed in a war.
Where are your priorities?
