Icon Alert...

Still going through shots from my fall Teton trip last year, caught a nice sunrise at Oxbow Bend after some fresh snow fell on the mountains.
Comments/suggestions always appreciated.

An exquisite photograph. It;s a bit of a tough choice, but I prefer this version to the earlier one on your web site. BTW I see no problem with your new site. Navigation was easy and all pictures I viewed were excellent. Well done.

Great shot Kevin. I'm constantly amazed at how you and others here consistantly turn out stunning images. The contrast at the tree line with clouds is really outstanding.

incredible shot Kevin. I was in and out of Jackson last fall myself, but unluckily I wasn't there on this particular day. I'd crop the top and bottom and come in on the left as well. Thanks for sharing. Michael

Although this is a lovely composition the strongest element is
the color. I like the transition from blue to violet and pink. The
orange complements the other colors nicely. Also it's a very
good reflection.

Thanks for the wonderful compliments everyone!!

I have to thank Lon Overacker for pointing out the weekly pick, my bad for not realizing these awards existed.

This certainly was a beautiful moment to be a part of, and I'm glad I was able to share it with all of you...

Thanks again

Congrats Kevin on having this image selected. The fall colours are spectacular and the sun coming across the face of the mountain was perfect timing for this shot. You have raised the bar for landscape photography my friend. Great job!!

The rendering is indeed beautiful and is pretty much the status quo of how the majority are post processing their images. However given my own personal preference for reasonably neutral saturation on landscapes, the saturation here both in the sky and trees is not what I would expect as a visual dawn experience regardless of conditions and would have been content to present such a bit less so even if it would not have wow'd the audience as much.
