Was in teton / yellowstone over the memorial day weekend. Was a family vacation so couldn't spend much time over photography, still teton yellowstone is beautiful at this time of the year and have a lot of pics to process. Here are a few - your thoughts on these appreciated as always.
I like the muskrat and fox a lot - the Mt. Teton shot just needs the geese to fly in front of the snowfield so they're not lost in the stoney part. Nice diverse collection
Some of these images are amongst your finest work that you've posted here, Soubhik.
#1 is simply amazing with the bird's pose and the color in the water. Sharp as a tack, too. I love it.
You might consider cloning out the larger bits of debris in the water with #1, #4 & #5.
The other wildlife images are excellent! I especially like the fox and the bison. Love the composition you chose for showcasing the bison in it's native grounds. Great idea there.
I didn't notice the geese in #3 'til Dave mentioned them. A quick AutoColor fix makes that snow look an awful lot whiter and more attractive. A side benefit is that the geese are much more pronounced so even I can't miss 'em!
wow-- 4 & 5 are instant classics! 3 would have been if the birds had been more cooperative and flown across the snowfields--JM's suggestions might help.
Excellent work, Soubhik! I like the processing in all of these and your comps. Very well done!

Soubhik, I like most #1 and 4 from this set-very nice. Temptation would be to clone out the foam bubbles in the fine muskrat shot. One preference would be a tighter crop on the fox to eliminate the pine bough and upper grass area.
Judging from the reflection in the muskrat shot, did you get a nice sunset at Oxbow?
Thanks for all your comments and advice.
I will revisit these pictures and try to do a few modifications as you have asked.
Doug - Yes, the sunset was pretty good that evening in Oxbow Bend , I am yet to process a few landscape pictures from the trip.
