I got to see Yellowstone last summer I this was a sunset shortly after we drove into the park. It was one of the most beautiful sunset I ever witnessed. I used the graduate filter from photoshop raw and a little bit of vibrance. Any suggestions? Im not sure about that tint. Do you think a should lower it a little bit?

Canon EOS 40d + canon ef-s 18-55@40mm
f5.6 1/60s ISO400 handheld

I don't mind the tint, a little more level in the f/g would be nice if possible. Very moody image and a great sunset!

I like it! Very interesting vantage point - a good "overview". The scene looks great. The colors are believable imo.

A fabulous sunset. Looks like Norris Geyser Basin. Love all the steam that adds so much to the image.

I think this is pretty incredible. Surprised it hasn't received more comments.

thanks for the comments. It was somewhere on the road side around the Norris Geyser basin area. I tried to lighten up the FG a little but then the steam doesnt come out that much.

Hi Andrius,

This sure is spectacular light & at a very special place. A couple of suggestions:
1) crop down 1/4 - 1/2 inch off top of sky
2) clone out shadow of large protrudingin conifer in the middle of the shot

I think these options will help you achieve better results. Thanks for sharing. Michael
