Requisite Oxbow Bend w/repost
Not much new here from this iconic location at Oxbow Bend in Jackson Hole. But after travelling that far one is compelled to make a few images of this amazing location even if you happen to be there in the less than sweet light at the edges of the day. Just wanted to share one more from my trip there last month. Thanks for looking.

What a beautiful location, Wayne - I can see why it's an icon. I love the snow-covered mountains. Looks like Spring has a ways to go...Thanks for sharing.

Wayne, I can see why you spent some time here, great shot.

It's iconic for good reason - it's a beautiful place, and perfectly captured here. I really like the snow-covered slopes and the rippling water in the front. I'll bet it's a little bit greener now! Thanks for posting :smile:

Beautiful shot Wayne. Looks like the perfect spot to cast a line for a good sized trout. It appears to be slightly tilted to the right.. Or maybe I'm just leaning to the right to much..

Fine shot, Wayne, and it also appears tilted to the right to me.

Thanks for the comments everyone, they are much appreciated.

Darren I must be going deaf because I never once heard b/w when working this image. :wink: But I like the results, thanks for mentioning it. :smile:
