Tetons in Autumn

[Cindy Cone]

This is from late September last year. I've tried various crops, but can't decide which I like, so I thought I'd get some input here. This is full-frame. Thanks for looking.

Hi Cindy,
You nailed the exposure and I like the placement of the Tetons with the ridge leading us to it and the cloud framing it in. When I saw this....immediately thought pano as the FG isn't as interesting even though the colors are sweet! Let me know what you think and let's see how others feel!

Cindy, I think this is lovely. The colors and the composition are very nice. As soon as I saw it I thought a bit off the bottom would help. But I would have only gone to the top of the dark area. Very nicely done.

I'd agree with Roman's crop. Possibly coming in from the right a bit would help clean up the edge. Great light and the clouds over the Tetons really "make" this image.

Lovely image Cindy, I am with D, and a crop just to the dark area. Love the gold and the simple elements make it strong compositionally for me.

Thanks so much for all your comments and crop suggestions. I really like Roman's crop, and I think I like Dave's idea about cropping a little from the right. Although I'd try different versions, but none with as much of a pano, so I really appreciate all of the help.

I do like Roman's pano crop. Maybe blue up the wedge of sky?

Very nice Cindy, like the way the mountains are composed in the photo

Thanks, Curly and David. I appreciate your comments.

The blue does really "pop" in your rendition, David. Thanks for sharing that.
