I really like these abstract shots of GP. I think you could saturate it a bit....yet the pastel colors are very pleasing. Nice Job. Any more from GP?

You asked for it you got it

I really like #1 and agree with Trey you could bump the saturation a bit. I like how you have taken a slice of the geyser placed it on a diagonal to show of the beautiful layers of color. You did this on most of your pics and to me these small vignettes are much more interesting than a pic of the whole spring. your second image I almost like it best if the mountain is not visible in the background, cropped just where the fog ends. Good stuff all the way around and tough to find good compositions like you did.

Thanks very much, Doug. I like your suggestion, and I made the change.

Oh yeah....that pano is perfect! I love "The Rim" shot too. It's perfect as is of course, but I still like just a tiny more sat

Thanks Trey. I think most folks would agree with you on the sat, but my personal taste is that most amateur photos are way OVER SATURATED. This is purely subjective of course, but it is my view, and so I work hard at trying to keep saturation down. These particular photos are of extremely saturated subjects, naturally, and so I have attempted to portray them as they were.
