That's one sexy icon. Hell, your one sexy photographer big fella...
I like photographing icons. It's even more fun putting your own creative vision and talent on it. I give credit to the insanity and vices for that.

:wink:

Beautiful...I wish could see more where the river takes the bend and exits out the bottom.

I like the beautiful light rays. Too bad Ansel Adams did not have the light :biggrin:

There is a reason why icons are photographed a lot. A great image is a great image whether it is an icon or not. This is a great image. The sun rays and the way they light up the trees is powerful.

"..might as well make the best of it."
Which indeed you did!
Quite simply a majestic image.

The light in this is great with those light beams shooting down the peaks. I agree it would be nice to see more of the river bend, but I know it is quite difficult to get that in a shot at this spot. Nevertheless a fine image, and one that is making me want to go back to the Tetons.

This is very different, In my opinion the Tetons have more emphasis here than the usual view. Outstanding.

Better than your average icon shot, thanks to your own "wow" touch. WAY better!

The light separates this one, icon or not. Nice work.

Love the rays of light in front of the mountain. That is what gives it a whole different feeling

I definitely like your take on the iconic view of the Tetons. The sun beams are incredible!

Icon, yes, but it takes considerable effort to get the light this good. Very nice.

Icon or not, who cares! You pulled off an excellent image. Beside the beautiful sun-rays I also love how the trees are glowing in the back-light .

The rays of light formed cutting across the peaks, and the backlit trees are super.
