Sunset in Yellowstone

StueveShots

This was shot (in 2006) in Yellowstone National Park at sunset. The sun's rays are shining through the smoke caused by a small fire after a lightning storm had passed by the park.

Please let me know what you think! Thanks.

I like it, but wonder if it's just a little 'over-HDRed'. Do you have a larger image posted somewhere?

W.W.W....Yes...I think you'll be able to see a larger version here: http://stueve.smugmug.com/The-Wide-World/Yellowstone-2006/9817593_DVJKJ#770238080_Mk3hC

I appreciate your comments. (As I look at the picture in the forum, it seems oversharpened--if that's a word--in contrast to what I see on my computer screen in PS or Lightroom. I haven't been posting my pictures online for long...I'll have to figure that out.)

rwells: Thank you!

To me it actually looks better displayed larger (at the maximum X3 size), which was not what I was expecting!

The sharpening may be a tad too much and the colour saturation a little higher than I might have chosen, but I still like it - great shot!
