A Geothermal Morning

Yellowstone. Comments are welcome. --Joe

Beautiful...I like your composition..the mist and morning glow is really nice

Beautiful; not terribly sure about the figures.

I like the composition, but, for once, I'm not sure about the human presence in the photo. I think I find they don't belong there because of their placement and their scale. I like a lot the toning on the fence bt maybe the yellow is too strong on the top left where the sun in coming from.

Yes, including people in a scenic landscape is a little unusual, and I rarely do it. But in this case, the two people happened to be standing in the ideal spot for the composition -- the leading lines point to them. So, whether I liked it or not, this scene became an image about sightseers at Yellowstone.

 

As for the color, the hazy summer sun was shining through a fairly thick cloud of steam to give it this color. No color modification was made except for slight desaturation to match what I remember.

 

Thank you for your comments. --Joe
