Yellowstone / Grand Tetons

paralyzedhorizon

Hi, photography newbie here. Thought I would sign up for this forum to get helpful hints on my new found passion. Posting a few shots from a recent trip to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. Comments (good & bad) appreciated. I have not spent enough time with Photoshop to learn how to enhance, but that's on my growing lists of "things to learn" Enjoy!

Welcome and keep posting....

Your shots look pretty good to me. You might bump up the size next time around...it will show off your work a little better. Welcome to the forum. There's plenty of folks here that can be very helpful.

Nice set, particularly the first and last. After looking at the first shot some more, maybe a slight crop removing some of the sky would make it look better because the mountains are sitting towards the middle of the frame. I like the clouds and trees in the last photo too. This one could benefit (IMO) with a B&W conversion. Nonetheless it is still a nice set...welcome to Dgrin!

It's always cool to see new talent. Nice introductory set of shots!

I really like the colors of the second shot, but can't help feeling that the lines and colors all lead too much towards dead center (like a portrait). The hills along the right side aren't as colorful as those along the left side so maybe next time have less of the right, more of the left, and the peak colors of the sunset off-center (using the rule of thirds to determine roughly how far off center)?

It's completely my 100% amateur opinion though (and what you have now is very very nice…but you did ask for comments).
