Really beautiful images Don. #1 is excellent and I really like the unique perspective on #4. Most people would try to squeeze in the entire scene on that one, but I like your tighter comp quite a bit.

You guys are killing me. All of the great posts lately are actually making me dive into some of the backlog that I have, thanks.
These are ALL great, Don. Exactly what I expect from you. The first Mt Moran shot is an instant classic. I love the atmosphere in these. Thanks for showing them off!

With my one guess, I am going with Alabama! Am I close?
Really nice series, especially #6!

Absolutely fabulous! On the first two, I could see pumping up the contrast on all but the trees, to make the rest of the image have more pop. The Jellystone ones and that last Tetons shot are just amazing!

Fabulous Don!

1, 4 and 6 are my favorites. I tend to agree with possibly upping the contrast in the first three and the last one. Great series!

Don,
They're all terrific, but the last one just knocks me out. OK, I just gotta get up there one of these autumns.
Wow, Don, you've got some hig hangers here!
Let's see:
#1 The light and pastels are sublime.
#2 Very nice light and reflection
#3 Great drama!
#4 I really like the color and the comp.
#5 Another excellent comp and shutter speed to show the force of the falls
#6 Fog layer and great sunset=Killer shot!
Great series Don. 1, 4, and 6 are my favorites as well. Love the tighter shot on Grand Prismatic Springs. Awesome.

Really nice work, Don. I could stare at #1 for a very long time and feel quite at peace.

These are fantastic but the 1st pano of Oxbow Bend is one of the best I've seen from there. Outstanding. Really gets me excited to visit there this fall.
Boy, these are all just really stunning images. I favorite is the last one. That atmosphere is out of this world. Well done!

Wow! Great set! I love 1, 4, and 6. A little more contrast in the mountains in 1 and 2 would be nice. Excellent work!

I just threw my camera in the garbage. Why do I bother.

I'm with Lance. I'm trashing all my photo equipment and reading comic books all day. These are truly amazing. Talk about being in the right place at the right time with the right photographer. Well done

Awesome set of photos! I tried to get to this spot last year but didn't make it in time. My favorites are #2,#3 and really like the mood in #6. Keep them rolling Don!
Posted by Jesse Speer on January 28, 2011 at 1:07 AM
Awesome stuff Don! #3 is intriguing and different.
Posted by Ernie Marx on January 28, 2011 at 3:05 AM
These are all great, but I especially like #4. Your subjects in this series are photographed often, but you have managed to make something special and unique in this series. Awesome work.

A wonderful series, Don. I can't pick a favorite, but I'm really drawn to #3 because it's so unique.
Posted by John Mumaw on January 28, 2011 at 6:34 PM
I like 'em all, but your take on Grand Prismatic Spring is simply superb!
Posted by Stan Rose on January 28, 2011 at 8:23 PM
Sweet!, I agree, the last three all rock! Nice series, Don.
All are awesome, Don, but that lighting in #3 is incredible, sets it well apart from other Moran shots. And that's a really splendid take on Yellowstone Falls, captures the scale and power way more than wider views.
