Photo of the Week - Reaching for the Heavens




Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming

If I had put away my camera when it started to sprinkle rain, I would have missed a tender ribbon of storm clouds weaving between the mountain peaks. With a compressed view through a long zoom lens, the rocky inclines look like they are reaching for the heavens. To emphasize contrast, I think that a black and white treatment in editing is the best approach with subject matter that is naturally monochromatic.

(Note: I am currently indisposed at the moment. So there will be a delay in approving your comments.)

    Beautiful shot. How do you compress a view through a long lens? The black and white is really striking.
