Great shot. Fantastic area for wildlife.

Thanks. I wish I still there.

I thought about a tighter crop but I needed at least 5100 pixels on the long side for a customers end product.

Thanks. Point taken on that leaning tree. Something to work on.

The peak is still a couple of weeks off so there weren't too many Bulls around but this guy made the early season trip into the park worth it.

A couple of early rut pictures along the Madison River at sunrise n Yellowstone.

I use the 20 f1.8 as a walk-around on my D500 all the time  Super sharp and light.

At the northern end of the park the road from Mammoth to the NE entrance in Cooke City is open year round. It's a long drive from where I am so I've only done it a couple of times. The south ...

First of all I love the Bison Rut picture. While all seasons hold something Winter is in my opinion the best time to go. If for nothing else than the lack of people. You won't see Bears but ...

Two days just isn't enough . We've been out here for years and go to the park often. We still see new stuff every time we go.

I've never had an XQD card fail however........ Can the slot in the camera fail? Can there be a transfer error with the computer? Can user error or inexperience erase/format a card by accident? Alw ...

Thanks Morris. Here's another one showing just how well they can be camouflaged in the wild.

Found a pair of Great Grey Owls while out looking for bears in the Shoshone National Forest. They were as interested in me as I was in them. They both have a touch of blood on their beaks.

Do Sparrows count?

Gotcha.

My engineering side tends to favor symmetry and centering the birds body while maintaining 1/3 towards the left looks ok. The other option would be to center the entire bird including the feet.

First off great shot. I find the mound kind of distracting. Personally I would crop as much of it as possible without losing the feet and keep it towards the left.

It can be fun and a challenge to go out with just a single prime lens. It forces you to set up the scene. Kind of like going golfing with just one club.

While getting close up head shots like you'd see in a field guide is nice using a short prime is a great way of showing the environment the animal lives in. Thanks for sharing.
