This photo is from the Yellowstone Geyser Basin (mid way). Not too imaginative but I liked the cloud alignment. Comments very welcome. Chet

Beautiful, rich colors. I could be wrong, but I feel it's tilted a bit.

I really like the contrast between the cobalt blue sky and the aquamarine pool. The clouds set the colors off nicely and the lines they create drive the eye down to the center. Well done.

Beautiful Chet. The feature that draws me in is the reflection of the clouds in the water. Love it.

The clouds are indeed great and the color combo of deep blue sky and turquoise pool water is a real eye grabber. Well done.

The sky really does draw you in!
I agree on a bit of CCW rotation.
Love the color in the pool.

The clouds in the sky are just spectacular and I just love their reflections in the geyser basin, Chet. This is beautifully done and color combination is very striking. Did you happen to get any different comps with a bit more of the pool on the right? I think that would work also.

I love the color, is it tilted ? possibly not but it looks a bit low on the right. Cloud alignment makes the shot.

The pool is interesting on it's own, but probable would require some artistic imagination to make an interesting composition on most days. However, on this day, the heavens treated you to something special. Any "camera tricks" you had up your sleeve would have detracted from this beautiful scene. Well done!

Great clouds and nice reflection in the pool. The blue in the sky is a bit too saturated for me and the line of trees in the middle doesn't show much detail and is too dark in my opinion

Lovely colors at work here Chet, and the clouds are beautiful. I too would vote for less blue in the sky and more room on the right.

Great colors here, Chet. I love those clouds streaming above. I agree with tilt and the thought of adding more detail to tree line.
