Grand Teton Winter

Spectacular image, Chip! Well worth the trek and dealing with the weather.

Beautiful scene, I love the soft glow on the peaks. Good work getting out in that snow :)

A classic view, but the soft glow on the mountains and the snow covered landscape lend to the individuality of this shot. I was thinking of heading to Yellowstone & the Tetons next week, and shots like this certainly help feed that idea...

Wow. Beautiful image, Chip! You have a great set of images from the Tetons. How often are you traveling there?

Chip this is incredible. The horizontal lineage makes the shot almost feel man made. Beautiful colors and excellent framing. Snow shoeing to the vantage distance must have been a good workout !

Awesome winter mountain landscape Chip. The light could hardly be better.

Your efforts were certainly worth it. Lovely image.

Superb composition and sweet light! I like that wispy cloud hanging out near the peaks on the left side. Beautiful image.

Chip,

Most certainly worth the effort of getting to this spot. Excellent exposure and lighting control. I do wish you had panned the camera a bit more to the left, as the right side feels empty.

Awesome light and unique take on an iconic scene, Chip! The only nit I have would be that the alpenglow on the peaks is a bit oversaturated, I would tone that down a bit.

Holy cow! That is stunning. I have not seen this view captured like this before. Lucky you for being there.

What a special capture of a special place. It must've been fricking cold getting to this spot for sunrise.

Worth the effort you took to capture this one! Well done!

Thanks very much for the comments guys!
Benjamin-I have been there a couple times in winter, once in the summer, and once in the late fall. If it wasn't such a long drive, I would try and make it out there much more.
Youssef-I actually cropped a bit off of the left-There is a bank of trees that felt kind of heavy to me. I wanted to eliminate most distractions from the foreground, making the mountains and the diagonal of snow and river the main parts of the image. There really aren't a whole lot of options for comps from this vantage. I've been wanting to capture an image from here though, with some good light and snow on the trees-I don't have any others in my portfolio. Thanks again!

I'm envious. Every time I've been there. except once, the mountains have been heavily obscured by clouds. The one time they were not was when I was only passing through at midday. I got a shot I like but the light in mine cannot be compared with yours.

Great capture after a lot of effort.

Worth all the effort. Man, Chip, this is one heck of an image. I love it.

That's some awesome light! Very beautiful landscape.

Yep, this was definitely worth the effort. Great light and sky, and beautiful conditions you photographed. Nice work, Chip!

Spectacular!

Spectacular!! Id tone down the sat on the peaks just a tiny bit, not much. Get any shots with the snow flying?

Excellent shot with great light and exposure, Chip.

Stunning imagery Chip! The bits of fog around the mountain peaks have given them a soft and surreal kind of glow, which makes this a one of a kind take from this famous vantage point. Although subtle, I also like how a little bit of the pastels are reflecting in the river.

You were well rewarded with your effort. Simply gorgeous.

Lon

absolutely stunning!! I wish to have a similar scene in front of me sometimes in the future!
happy new year!
cheers

An epic Teton shot, that is some amazing light on the peaks. I bet this looks amazing when viewed large..

Great work.

Not much I can say other than WOW...really left me speechless!

Definitely worth the effort!
One of the best Teton images I've seen. I also thought that the saturation could be scaled back just a bit on the peaks.

Heck, you have more snow than this in your hometown, don't you?

A classic! Looks fabulous.

Amazing capture, Chip. One of the best I have seen from here.

Bravo Chip! It's a beauty.

Thanks very much guys!
I'll tone back the sat. on the peaks a bit-thanks for the advice.
John-Yes we do. It's been the snowiest month on record here. There are snow burns taller than me on each side of my driveway from shoveling. Roofs are caving in on grocery stores! Fun stuff. Just hope mine doesn't. It has been making some funny noises.

Just amazing light and color. You've addressed the only things you need to correct. This is one shot that stands above so many others from this location. Great job.

A very very beautiful shot Chip..It was great to know about your efforts and how it paid off...great job!! regards, Rajeev.

Beautiful Chip
Picture taken from Ansel Adams photo site, Snake River Overlook. Great shot

You nailed this one, Chip. Great stuff; the conditions you had to deal with just make it more special.

Gorgeous light and comp!!!

Classic image here. Good job!

Really nice Chip!

Holy s.. this is AWESOME. Congrats!

Thanks very much! Your comments are very nice and helpful as usual. Thanks for taking time to comment and help! Happy New Year!

Stunning!

Chip: Congrats on a well deserved EP. 4+ spectacular. You're off to a really good start with this image. Where did you snow shoe in from? >=))>

Very cool! I didn't know it was an EP. Thanks for telling me.
I didn't have to snowshoe far, just from a small pullout I found near-by. They actually close off all access to the hills along-side the road, and I can't figure out why. They say because of wildlife-but I haven't seen any sign of any wildlife in the area-not even tracks. I spoke with a local photographer and he said he had no idea why either. He has even asked rangers while out there, and they couldn't give him any specifics. I wasn't technically in the closed zone for this shot though.

I missed this one when posted Chip; I'm glad it won an EP so I caught it! Fantastic all the way around and I like it a lot. Congrats on the EP!

Wonderful light. Congratulations.
