Grand Teton National Park Black and White Landscape

Grand Teton National Park Black and White Landscape
A black and white winter photo of storm clouds over Blacktail Butte in Grand Teton National Park.

Despite a huge admiration and appreciation I have for them, I don’t do very many black and whites. That’s something I might try to change the near future, but thus far, just haven’t seen too many that I thought would come out well. However I kept coming back to this image from a couple of weeks ago and never could figure out what it was missing. I overworked it, underworked it and did all I could to try to get it to look "finished." However tonight I gave it the black and white treatment and all of a sudden it popped out, in my eyes. Sometimes an image or a piece of artwork just screams out to you, "You’re going in the right direction!" After a series of tweaks and spending quite a while getting the crop just right, this is what I came out with. The scene is taken just north of Kelly, Wyoming in Grand Teton National Park looking back west toward Blacktail Butte and the Teton Mountains while a winter storm was breaking up over the Tetons.
