Fall in the Tetons

It seems like forever since I posted some new photos. Here are a few from my trip to the Tetons earlier this month. It snowed on me almost every day and only saw the peaks of the mountains once the entire trip but I still had a blast. Here is a link to more images from the trip.

I like the first one from the top the most. A bold composition you've chosen considering the fact that the horizon line is almost halfway between the top and the bottom.

The third one is clear and sharp, too, but it doesn't have a very strong 3D feel to me. I'm wondering if it's because the foreground, middle and the background are nearly as bright as each other. Traditionally, I think people use different degree of brightness in a photo to give a sense of depth to a 2-dimensional picture. This particular one doesn't seem to have that very much. But it could just be my eyes fooling me though. You know, they're aging

Nevertheless, all very good images, Mike !

Is that moose in ox bow bend ?

I was there in August and last year in June

Thanks for looking and commenting AE.

Mahopac, yes and no on the moose. It was taken at Oxbow Bend, but not in the area by the road where everyone stops. It was taken in the backwaters behind Oxbow Bend. I spent 3 or 4 hours watching this bull, a cow and her calf one day.

Very nice. I really like #2 (I'm baised towards darker/silhouette images

)

Beautiful images, Mike. when are you going to take me along on one of your exotic trips?

One and four are just wall hangers.

Thanks for looking and commenting everyone.

Mike, I'm gonna try to make this trip again next fall but a lot can change between now and then.

By the way 2 of these images were taken with the G9.

These are some stunning images! I love my G9, but have very little time to shoot anymore sadly.

I love my G9 too! I wish I would have gotten one sooner.

Thanks for the featured photo!

Outstanding images! I have to make it back out west one more time before time catches up with me. Those mountains are truly gorgeous.
