On my first trip ever to the Jackson Hole area last week I was fortunate to stay just a few miles from Mormon Row and the famous Moulton barn. For my second sunrise shoot at the barn I chose to make images from an elevated position (on top of my vehicle) to gain some separation between the barn's roof and the Teton's in the bg. That decision turned out to be fortutious because about 30 minutes after I set up a herd of bison came walking down the road and right into my composition. Their timing was off just a little because the sky wasn't dramatic and the light was just starting to light up the Teton's but I was nevertheless pleased to have this unexpected element in the iconic shot of Moulton barn.

Thanks for looking.

A very interesting bunch of historic buildings. When we're lucky, as you were, bison, coyotes, or antelope join the images.

After seeing the comment on cropping off the left side, I agree with that. It would help bring that little bit of water in on the right side, and focus more on the bison and their direction of travel. Good image!
It's been mentioned that the image needs to be straightened but if you were to drag a horizontal & vertical line to the barn's doors & windows you would see that the image is perfectly level based on those reference points. Thanks again for looking and leaving a comment.
