Beyond The Obvious

When you are in the Lamar Valley of Yellowstone National Park, you see the grand vistas and the fall colors make it that much better. A few cloud might help the above photo but the backlighting of the yellow leaves of the poplar trees is irresistible. 

The bison is an icon of Yellowstone Park and a natural subject.

 

I thought the willow leaves were a not so obvious subject. I chose a wide aperture for a limited Depth of Field. You can still discern the background leaves and the distant hills.
