A midnight shot of White Dome Geyser, in the Lower Geyser Basin of Yellowstone NP. The glow that is illuminating the steam is from the moon setting on the horizon. Right after I shot this I repositioned my camera and shot

You have a very nice sky at night color, the moon was just light enough, looks perfect.
This is a great night shot. The stars and clouds add to the scene, but it might be even nicer to see the geyser moved to the right about 20% in my opinion.
I’d go for a slightly tighter crop.

Well done Zack!
I think the composition works well. I do understand the compositional comments about being left-heavy because the plume is leaving the frame, but I would not want to sacrifice any of what's on the right. This is wonderful as-is, but if you want to experiment, you might try adding some space to the left side (if you have any "space" to add). If not, you already have something unique and beautiful here.
