Three Versions of Oxbow Bend +1 Extra

[JimFox]

The same shot a few years ago, I was up there for wildflowers and of course still had visit old Oxbow Bend.

Clearly I am down at the water instead of up by the parking lot. It was that rock that attracted me as being something different and adding some interesting visual interest. But then, at least one or two of my friends have said they thought it was distracting. But still I like it.... The different versions were an attempt to emphasize the rock more. In the end, I just really don't know which I like best.

All comments are welcome,
Jim

Original

4x5 Format

Square Format

An additional one for Kyle

I like the first if for no other reason than because it has more of that nice color in the sky. Definitely takes courage to de-emphasize the mountains in Teton...

I like the condensed square version (3rd), the rock does look a bit odd, maybe because it appears as if it's floating...?

Another vote for 3, I guess I just want to see Moran better.

Lovely light! I'm partial to the 4x5, but can't really tell you why. Just grabs me more!

Square for me - adds more details on the ground in the middle and makes the mountains look bigger.

I like the square one best.
