Heart Mountain from the Banks of the Clark's Fork River in Wyoming
A couple of years ago, I took a shot of Wyoming's Heart Mountain from a bridge over the Clark's Fork. I was amazed at just how lush that area was - if you know Wyoming, 'lush' and 'Wyoming' are not two words used often in the same sentence. And yet here was this green, grassy river bank in the middle of sage-covered hills. I loved the shot, but because I was shooting hand-held at dusk the image was slightly blurry. To save it, I applied an Orton Effect and have lived with it as a soft, watercolor-like shot since.
This past weekend, I decided to stop at the same spot on my way home from Cody to see if I could do a better job the second time around. It's later in the season now than the first time I shot it, so the fall colors are more prominent and the greens are not as vibrant. This most recent image is certainly sharper, but I'm not convinced I like it better. Let me know what you think.
