Did a little (3,400 miles) 9 day road trip out west a to Badlands National Park, Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone. Here's a few (quite a few) shots from the venture.

    Great shots. Wow. Love many of these!!

    One note -- you should consider a noise reduction pass on some of these. I use Imagenomic Noiseware Pro and it works beautifully.

    C&C always welcome. I can't learn if I don't know what I've done wrong or could do better.

    A fantastic set of images. <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/thumb.gif&quot; border="0" alt="" > You got a lot of great images in 9 days. The motorcycle image in the sunset takes me back to "71" and a similar shot in the Black Hills.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

    Thanks everyone for the kind comments. Davev and I really had to work to find the wildlife while we were out there. The number of critters were about 1/3 of what you normally see in the parks.

    Jasonstone, we took an SUV (Armada) out to WY. The photo of the biker might had thrown you off. I was trying to find something quick to shoot before the sunset was gone and I spotted a biker and caught him just as he was leaving the parking lot in the Badlands.

    Awesome series. I'd be ecstatic if I took a trip and got even 1 or 2 shots like that.
