That is some shot you have there with a great reflection through the orange/brown area and onto the normal water area.

Great compostion and POV with excellent DOF.

Hi Niek,
Great shot of something I'd love to see for myself. Great colours, especially that rich orange in the water. Excellent detail as always from you and an interesting note. I think the workshop picture is great too. Good job you recognised that your equipment might get damaged by the steam, I probably wouldn't have thought of it!
Regards,
Adrian

Otra interesante presentación Niek con 2 imágenes muy bonitas.
Muy agradable colorido con adecuada nitidez, encuadre y POV, además del plus de la reflexión tan particular.
Buen trabajo.

Excellent capture of this magnificent phenomenon! I've never seen a geyser in my life! Very good composition and POV! The colors look bright and natural and contrast is nice! Great use of DOF! Congratulations and TFS! Sorry, no more points for today. I'll make it up with you next time!

Last YS post..WHAT? no Morning Glory Pool? Years ago it was wonderful. I think I heard something about it being damaged or something. Probably just too popular for you. I understand that.

This is a really nice photo Niek. I like the steam, the colors the reflections. Nice off center composition and good exposure.

Thanks for sharing

Good job with the steam, Niek! I struggled with it, and went WAY overboard! I like your subtle approach. Good angle and the cone for the light, too. Subtle reflection, too.

I like the first one better for how you got the steam coming out from the geyser like a volcano. THe reflection also is a nice added touch. The sky to me here though seems a bit on the weak side..perhaps some added saturation and contrast to the sky would be beneficial here to add to the overall drama of the photo.

Hi Niek,
Just time for a very quick visit. Very busy few days.
Nice shot. Thanks for posting.
Enjoy the rest of the week.

Hi Niek,
This is an unusual sight. I would not have thought Yellowstone immediately. It looks like a tiny little volcano, like the one that "The Little Prince" had to rake on his planet.
Everything in this shot is very crisp, and the water is so clear.
I like the POV, and the combination of cold and warm colors.
The steam and the reflections add a lot to the picture.
TFS. : )

Hi Niek,
Interesting composition!
The subject reminds me of what hell must be like...
Hostile environment in front strongly contrasts the green forest and blue sky!
Good details, the colours seems like natural to me...

Halo Niek,
goede compositie en mooie details. Het contrast tussen het zilverachtige van "het Kasteel" en het oranje meer er rond is spannend. Goed dat je informatie geeft over de omstandigheden, zo krijgen we er een beetje kleuren en geuren bij!
Het blijven echt booiende verschijselen!
Very well done and TFS

Hi Niek,
AMAZING! Such beautiful scenery. Yellowstone is such a unique ecosystem. You have shown it very well. I may be going in late September, and this series of photos has me wishing I was there now!

Hello Niek,
this Yellowstone series is fabulous. I love this shot, with the steam rising up to the beautiful sky. A beautiful reflection is on the water and the colors are amazing. A woderful composed landscape.

Beautiful capture of place which can not be seen too often. I like it a lot, I have never seen geysers in nature :)
Very nice composition and timing too.
