Mother Bear and Cub (Jasper National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While at a roadside pullout along Maligne Lake Road with a view looking to the southwest to a mother black bear and her cubs eating away. This is in Jasper National Park. In composing this image, I attempted to center the mother and one of her cubs, as they were eating grasses and wildflowers in this field.

Capturing a Picturesque Setting of Mount Eddy from the Black Butte Trail by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While hiking along the Black Butte Trail, I took in this view looking southwest down a mountainside to a valley below with Interstate 5 going through. Beyond, more distant hills and mountains of the Trinity Mountains with Mount Eddy were visible. This area is in the Shasta–Trinity National Forest.

On the Trail Ahead to See Mountains (Glacier National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the southwest while taking in views to more distant peaks and ridges of the Central Lewis Range. This is along the Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park. In composing this image, I zoomed in with the focal length so that I could have the mountainside fill most of the image from edge to edge, while still including some foreground interest and blue skies as a backdrop.
