p.1 #1 · YNP and Grand Tetons round 2 - what an experience, cant wait to go back
As mentioned in my round one, when I visited the park in May, the snow banks were still on the sides of the roads and some of the water bodies had ice on them. Every day was a new adventure. The vastness of the park is mind boggling and so is the diversity of the wildlife. Hence I am posting pictures of the entire cross section of the environment i.e. birds, mammals and landscapes. I was lucky to have experienced the bears upclose and personal and at a distance as well
They had just come out of their hibernation so feeding on the grasses was the main occupation
Thanks to all of you who have helped me grow by providing constant comments, feedback, C&C and support. I really appreciate it. Of course a big thanks to David Turko who was instrumental in making this trip happen and to Paulie and Barb for making it an awesome outing.
Please do provide C&C as you deem fit.
Here goes
1- upset mama bear. she passed by our car quite close by followed by the playful cubs

KD - Second killer set ! You did it again my friend. Love the variety. Since I had no luck seeing the badger with her cubs I'm sure enjoying your shots of them. Love the black bear cubs and 399 with her cubs in the Tetons. Thanks again for sharing your YNP/TNP trip shots. I have thoroughly enjoyed viewing your work.

Excellent set KD! Love the variety you presented here.
Being that you welcome critiques, one nit I see is a cyan cast in most of the black bear shots. Other than that I think you nailed all of these very nicely.

Clearly--a trip that was absorbed across the scales from small critters to grand landscapes! I enjoyed looking through your lens, KD. Having lived 'out West' for many years, I know the wide, open and forested spaces are mind-boggling. So much to explore; often rushed for time.
Anyway, my only nit is that a few of the bear pictures (1, 19 and 24) have a blue / magenta cast to them. Could be my uncalibrated monitor too...
