Nice shots! The second impacts me far more.
Relative to your purpose you might try a graduated filter on the first one to darken the sky and mountains. Perhaps also increasing contrast and/or sharpening or clarity on the mountains would make them pop more.
What is "Mormon Row"? I've been to that area hundreds of times and never heard of it.

Thank you for sharing the info and photos. The homestead is fascinating and the photo of the barn by itself is in desperate need of framing! :thumbup:

Thanks, MtnMan, I apreciate the suggestions. Mormon Row is a line of homestead complexes along the Jackson-Moran Road near the southeast corner of Grand Teton National Park, in the valley called Jackson Hole. The rural historic landscape's period of significance includes the construction of the Andy Chambers, T.A. Moulton and John Moulton farms from 1908 to the 1950s. Six building clusters and a separate ruin illustrate Mormon settlement in the area and comprise such features as drainage systems, barns, fields and corrals. Apart from John and T.A. Moulton, there were several other Mormon settlers in the area.
The area is also known as Antelope Flats, situated between the towns of Moose and Kelly.

Great shots. I expect John Wayne or Clint Eastwood to setp into the scene at any moment.
Funny you should say that TC. In fact the movie set for the movie Shane, with Alan Ladd, was just West of the Mormon Row area. Sadly the entire Shane set was a victim of arson several years ago and burned to the ground.

Thanks, that's why I expected. I lived in Idaho Falls for 30+ years and have been over that area lots but never heard it called that. Now I can pretend to be local with my new-found knowledge!
As you probably know the area West of the Tetons was also highly settled by Mormons. The Mormon population percent there is actually much higher now than in Salt Lake City.

Your first slide picture, even being old is good and your second one is perfect. The last time I was in that area was 25 years ago. But my first time there was 56 years ago. The Tetons and Yellowstone N.P. in my estimation are in the top ten most beautiful places in the world. What camera/lens were you using?

Thanks, Frank. The first picture was made with a Nikon F3HP and a Nikkor 50mm 1.2 lens. The 2nd picture was made with a Nikon D7000 and a 17 - 70mm Sigma f2.8 lens.
