Horsing around in the Tetons
Took this shot early one foggy morning in the Tetons. I was on my way looking for Moose when I came upon these horses. Had to hand hold and use manual focus due to the fog. I met the rancher and he allowed me to photograph a few images in the morning and afternoon.
It made my week as the wildlife and scenic shooting wasn't that good.
Cropped the image to take out some of the sage.

Wow, I see a fogbow in the mix as well! Cool shot.

Nice shot. Really like the rich color and the fog.

Hi Don,

Very nice image. I love how the fogbow highlights the middle horse. In fact, if you were to crop off the left-most (white) horse, it would place much more emphasis on the highlighted one, which I believe would strengthen the composition a great deal. Maybe crop out that tree or fence on the right as well.

Nicely done! Ken

Really neat and unique.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. Ken the only reason I didn't crop the left side is I would loose the identification of the Cathedral Peaks in the background. I will however crop out the corral post on the left. Thanks for your suggestion.

very beautiful and surreal shot Don. I particularly like the long shadows of the horses.

Excellent moody shot conveying the lifestyle of the west!

I agree about cropping out the post. Very nice, love the misty feel to it.
