Autumn sunset lines up nicely on some of the hot springs in Yellowstone. It took a little patience but we caught this one epupting during some pretty nice light.

jesse...You have a beautiful sky but you need some shadow detail in the foreground. You could try shadow/ highlights in Photoshop or possibly do a double processing. Other alternatives include a graduated neutral density filter when you take the shot.
I love the colours and the sky in this jess. I agree with Bob that a little extra detail in the foreground would be a lot better and I am sure you could do a little more with what you have if you so choose. But I like it just as it is too...

Thanks for your input Guys! Yes it would be pretty simple to put a little more detail in the geyser terraces. In this shot I like the perceived mystery of the lack of detail.
To capture the photo is great; to be located near Yellowstone - Wow!
I don't mind the hot spots in this image as it ties in with the hot spots causing the geyser.
Enjoyed looking at your blog and galleries; too bad that the BLM is getting away with screwing the public yet again.
Looking forward to more of your posts; 6 :eek: ain't enough!!
Cheers, Jay

Very good as is, you are right to de empathize the foreground. Not every photo need shadow detail.

Jess,
I would agree the lack of FG detail is not helping your image. However, I do not feel including more detail here is the answer. IMO, a crop of the FG and left and right sides is needed. TO better illustrate my meaning I have uploaded that crop with some opening up of shadows in the clouds. The bast aspects of the image are the geyser and the sunset, and that is what I have tried to maximize. Opening up shadows lightened the FG water and created a good framing element at the bottom.
I got some weird color skewing in the clouds and steam. The original would fare better.
Hi Jess, I like what Robert did with the image on the left and right and opening up the shadows giving it alot more impact however I do like more room in the foreground. I would lighten it a bit though...
Robert, another top notch RP! This is a winner.
Cheers, Jay

Hey Jess, Been away so sorry for the late reply. Aways tough when the sun breaks through at great fountain geyser....I would use Roberts repost as a base but I would toned down both the red sat and brightness in the sun area. This one still needs a bit more tweaking.
I've got 2 few more months and I will be out there!
