Destruction past and present. The pool a simmering remnant of a cataclysmic volcanic eruption with the charred remnants of the "great Fire" that engulfed so much of Yellowstone, NP.

I assume this is Grand Prismatic Spring? Or are there other places like this in Yellowstone?

Anyway, I like the way you've created layers here with the colors, and BG almost looks like sparks or something. Nice textures all through it too.

I've been to Grand Prismatic Spring many a time and the background threw me on this one. I had to look at it for some time. I see now the white lines are dead trees. Finally registered in my brain. Great colors Tim and a special view of the Spring.

Love the composition Tim, The layers of color and textures work very well to convey your intent. Really well done.
