Back Side of the Tetons

I think this will be my last Teton post. This is the view of the back of the Grand, Middle and South Tetons from Hurricane Pass, with the upper reaches of the South Fork of Cascade Canyon in the foreground.

Craig, nice composition, color, and DOF.. The large image really pops!

You certainly captured these impressive mountain peaks wonderfully. Brilliant color too Craig. My only suggestion would be to burn the brightness of the Grand Teton slightly.

Another real nice image of the Teton backcountry. For those of us that lived on the Idaho side of the Tetons, this is the view that greets you everyday. I'm glad you enjoyed your time there.

Wonderful view of the tetons, Craig, with nice light and color. I agree with the previous suggestion to burn the top of the GT. I've never been to this side of the tetons, nor have I seen many images of it. Great to see. Makes me want to go there. Were you still backpacking when you shot this? What trail, if you don't mind my asking?

Thanks all for the comments. I will burn down the Grand a bit.

Scott, we were backpacking along the Teton Crest Trail. We started in Teton Village, and took four days getting to Paintbrush Canyon. It was some of the most beautiful backpacking I've ever done.

I love the color in the FG along with those wispy clouds in the sky, Craig. The three peaks are impressive and the light is nice. Looks like you had a great backpacking trip.

Real nice image of the Teton high country. Excellent depth and nice scene. Despite the harsher light, it works well
