Sorry guys, I forgot the name, it's close to Mammoth, hidden behind bushes. Something or other Springs.
A 5 image HDR, straightened to the best of my ability. I see I need to work on evening the top sky after I darkened the borders.
Here's the EXIF of the darkest one:

Time: 9:33:02 AM
Model: NIKON D3
Lens (mm): 24
ISO: 200
Aperture: 22
Shutter: 1/200
Exp. Comp.: -2.3

Hi Fabs, Nice light,good reflection and just enough foreground. Well framed!
If this were mine I would take out the merge of the grass and reflection...

I like the comp and the colors are really strong. Nice one. I trust you straightened it well. The curved shoreline on the far side gives a tilted appearance. :) Love it!

I like the vibrant colors. Dave had a good catch.

I tried a reverse s-curve (luminosity blending mode) and IMO made the image more pleasing as it tones down the contrast and reveals more detail in the rather bright peak.

Yellowstone is one of my favorite places. This is one reason why. I don't remember the name either. I agree about removing the grass form the reflection.

Hi Fabs,
I'm liking the vibrance and colors of the image as presented (but then again I usually do!) The curves of the shoreline leading to the ditant mountain form a very pleasing comp and brings us back nicely to the flow of mamoth hot springs. The grass removal would help but isn't a image killer. Very well done and a bit of a different perspective.
