Mount Moran with the oxbow bend of the Snake River in the foreground, fall. Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming.
This is another view of Mt. Moran from Oxbow Bend. I captured this just a few yards and a few minutes from the image I posted last week. It’s remarkable just how different the two images look. I tend to favor the first image — I am a fan of “quiet” and subtle shots. This one has been popular with folks, however, and I do like the intense fall color. Please take a moment to post a commend and let me know which you prefer.
Please don’t forget that nearly all of my images (including this one) are available as a fine art print, greeting card, or for license.
Trees in Fog I, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
As I mentioned in my previous post, one of the highlights of my visit to Yellowstone was the fog each morning. These are some of my favorite fog shots from the trip. The only problem is I can’t decide which of these compositions I like the best. The top is clean and simple. The bottom one is a bit messier, particularly with the muddy shore peaking through at right. But, I like the way that the curved shoreline leads the eye into the frame. Also, I like that there are a few more trees visible in the background. So . . . which do you prefer? Please leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Trees in Morning Fog (Image# 091224_1000651)
I got up very early on Christmas Eve to shoot at my favorite spot. It was so cold that I couldn’t find many animals to photograph, but the sun playing through the mist from Clear Creek more than made up for the lack of animate subjects. The first image is a straight-from-the camera image. The second is a monochrome image that I toned using a custom tone curve.

I tent to prefer the first image, mostly because I think the composition is stronger, though (obviously) I liked the second enough to post it. Please post a comment and let me know which you prefer.
