Orange Spring

The original slide is much better(i rate this only 60% from the

original slide), btw just drop 1 for 2 critics, i will be really

appreciate.

Looks like a painting. Nice!

+++++

this first scan was unsatisfied, and i try to rescan and post it on the same folder, the result is a little better than this one.

You've approached this with good originality and the results are very nice. While I like the image there are elements that distract me like the cloud and the rock in the foreground which edges the border. The polarizer seems to have helped with the muddy effect often seen in nighttime exposures but the tradeoff is a very dark sky. I'd love to see more of that almost neon blue hinted at in the lower left at the tree line.

Love the contrast between object and sky. Yellowstone? Polarized?

Yes, This Yellow spring is in Yellowstone national park. This raw pic is photoshop untouched. it will look better to sharpen it with photoshop. My consumer grade slide scanner doesn't give rich, vivid scan. i am kinda disapointed with the result.

Like everybody says, great coloring and unusual technique. The basic image looks nice because the actual location is a lovely location. Other than that, it is a directly centered image with surreal tree trunks around it. I can't spot any other real compositional elements that make it any more than a postcard snap. Maybe if the big rock was moved to the corner and shot closer with a wider angle lens? Still this would make a neat poster for display because of the dramatic coloring.

Intriguing picture : makes you wonder if it is a natural picture or a creation. In any case, the composition is very good.

The object appears to be glowing. Looks like a fantasy painting, especially the transition from stars to apparent daylight.
