I like this Alfred - gorgeous starburst on the sun. I like the effect created by the smoke...

Hey Alfred,
I like the different take on Oxbow bend but while I love the sunburst and the frame placement....I'm not lovin' the lens flares (into Mt. Moran and right of sun).....and the cars on the right. You may want to consider a crop off the right...at the post/upright and then proportionally off the bottom....cloning/pathing the remaining cars......removing the flares willl provide the final solution to a different take on an often photographed scene.....and help this reach its full potential. Glad to see you put the smoke to good use too!

Hi Alfred, Very nice overall feel to the image along with a dramatic starburst effect. Good comp but agree with the cropping a bit off the right and eliminating a few of the flares. Different way of looking at this scene and very creative!

Love the starburst effect and reflections. I'd give the cloning tool a try here too. Very nice scene.
