Layton, How you doing? I see you enjoyed your trip and have enjoyed your emails of images.

I like the FG (not too much or too little). I like the springs (colorful, dominate in the image, geyser going off). I find the trees in the BG distracting however. I browser cropped right to the top of the geyser below the trees and feel that strengthens the image.

Hi Layton, Interesting view with good action. Agree with Robert where I find the trees a bit distracting and agree with his crop suggestion...

Hey Layton,
Glad to see enjoying your trip. I also agree with the crop recommendation.....if you had more than leaving it in was the way to go.....as presented the crop works......although you could clone/patch some and then crop.....to not make the water splash tight. Nice and sharp where itneed to be and the colors look spot on!

[Harold Davis]

agree with the crop suggestion. the colors are fantastic here. the action aint bad either!!:)

[Layton E Parham]
