Yellowstone

Guess these sulfur mounds gave Yellowstone its name. The colors and shapes are just amazingly beautiful and are great photographic subjects. Taken with Canon 40D, using 10-20 IS lens, ISO 400.

Must disclose that I eliminated the walkway that was on the right rear of the image.

Yep, finally made it to Yellowstone!

This is one of my favorite formations at Mammoth, they moved the road a year ago because of all of the flow in the left foreground. I like how you've got the colored arc in the foreground and the overcast helps let the colors show. I would like for the mound to be more prominent...maybe cropping some of the sky. Good to see that you got the park service to move the walkway.

I like the clouds, looks like they're splitting around the formation.

I like the grey, cloudy sky and the composition... I think the different elements make this a strong image
