Gros Ventre Autumn

Gallery: LandscapePosted October 8, 2012249 views6 comments

One of the rare days we weren't inundated with smoke on our trip to the Grand Tetons. This scene is overlooking the Gros Ventre River. The trees are a little fuzzy due to the high winds we had that day as you can see from the ripples in the water. The wind blew the smoke away, however, so I didn't complain.

What a grand view. This really makes me want to be there to take all of this in. Love the clarity.

I like it. Nicely done. There doesn'tseem to be much motion blur on the foreground bush. Perhaps increasing the local contrast would help the distant trees. I don't know really I would just have to try it and see if it helps. It's not really much of an issue anyway. There haven't been many days without the haze and smoke this summer have there?

Very nice comp and the light and colors are excellent. Only thought might be to crop some of the sky so the horizon is less centered.
