M&N - 2nd HM

America's Best Idea
A drive through Yellowstone National Park should be on every American's bucket list. With roads traversing through prime wildlife habitat and some of the most scenic vistas in the lower 48, it is no wonder Yellowstone is one of the most heavily visited parks in the entire National Park System. Expect to pass through everything from high alpine country, dotted with wildflowers, to soaring stands of mighty evergreen forests. A variety of steaming thermal features, gigantic rocky spires rising from deep river canyons, emerald valleys dotted with sparkling cobalt lakes, views of majestic peaks, and wildlife abound should be enough to hold one's interest for a lifetime..
I made this image in the Lamar Valley at sunset. The Bison was a very cooperative model and helped to provide a nice sense of scale in the grand scene that stretched out before me.

This is outstanding! This belongs in some National Park literature, brochures, websites, etc. Hopefully you can market this one, it would sell!
No nits at all, awesome image.

This is stunning! I love the mountains in the background. It appears that the bison blinked for this image. Do you have another image with its eyes open? Amazing work!
Greg, hard to tell at this small size, but the Bison's eyes are in fact open. Funny that you say that because I did have another frame where he was blinking.
