Peeking Between the Trees in Yellowstone
There are plenty of trees in Yellowstone and while sometimes they can get in the way, other times you can use them to help frame your pictures.
Here are a few shots from yesterday afternoon in the park about seven miles from the West Yellowstone entrance.
First, here’s how not to incorporate a tree! I liked the way the buffalo formed a v-shape pointing toward me, but the tree was in the way. I moved to the side and down a little bit to get this better view.

Here's the same shot, except with the tree off to the left. Click for bigger image.
Here are two more pictures in the same area, this time incorporating trees on both sides of the picture. I like the effect because it helps frame the subject, and makes you feel like you are peeking in on the scene.
In addition to framing this shot with the trees, I was also able to catch the mountain's reflection in the Madison River, which yesterday was extremely still. Click for bigger image.
