Wyoming Animal-scapes

Was in the Tetons Sept 24-27 clear skies and smoke put a damper on some dramatic scenes, but it was awesome anyway. C&C welcome and thanks for looking!

#1 Bull Elk - This one crossd the water about fifty yards in front of me while following a cow. I am always amazed at how big these guys are.

#2 Oxbow Moose - A little bit later in the morning after the crowd had left a moose came out of hiding for only a couple of minutes then disappeared into the forest.

#3 Goledn Eye of Autumn - From Two Oceans Lake. It was so peaceful and quiet with no biped hominids around I just watched this guy for about 45 minutes.

Both are great shots Jeff. #2 I think is a beautiful landscape scene, but I kind of feel a tighter crop to bring out more focus on the moose would make it more of a wildlife shot. A tighter vertical crop would be insane on this one!

#4 I had to put one image of the range in here, I just couldn't resist the temptation.

no mas.

Thanks Koveh, I understand what you are saying and I was zoomed in about as tight as I could get with my 70-300.

Nice set of images. Really like the color reflection in the river on #3.

#2 with those fall colors and reflections is an outstanding habitat shot!
I like the crop as is.

It would have been nice to catch the moose slightly earlier, before it got into the more cluttered background, but hey, I haven't encountered any that take well to instructions.

Nice, i really like the last view there!

Great stuff! I like #2 the best...I wouldn't crop it. I like #1 & 4 as well. #3 is the only one I'm not liking as much, since the duck's head is turned away.

A very nice set of images. I think #3 would make a great abstract w/o the duck.

A very well done set of images. I particularly like #2 and 3. Great color and luminosity.

Love the moose image - nice set!

I like the moose image best and just as it is. Those trees and their reflection are beautiful.

great series and #2 is my favorite!

LOVE # 3.

Great set Jeff! Very nice pose in the first one, although the elk seems a little tight on the bottom and centered for my taste, but I understand you may have had limitations in the field. The moose shot is my favorite, wonderful colors and reflections, nice work.

I was at Oxbow last week and was told about the moose coming out at sunrise, but it never showed when I was there. Excellent collection!

These are all terrific! You took great advantage of the conditions up there.
I'd be pleased to have any of these in my portfolio.

Love the colors and the light in that moose image! Very nice!

The mose image has terrific colors and a well placed animal. Nice work!

Very nice set of images - the elk looks majestic ..

Fantastic set! I like #4 for the reflection and relative simplicity.

Great color in #2. I was up there at the same time and I would have to disagree about the lack of clouds and smoke problem. I had clouds for most of my Sunrises and the smoke gave me some amazing Sunset shots.
