Yellowstone Sunset

Gallery: LandscapePosted September 19, 2016161 views6 comments

I just returned from Yellowstone where the fires were still burning. I think the smoke contributed to the colors in this sunset capture. This was the most intense sunset I have ever seen. I did not boost the saturation at all. The posted image is almost exactly as it came out of the camera. Processed using Lightroom CC (2015) and Photoshop CC (2015). Comments and critiques welcome.

Beautiful image Jerry. Must have been surreal to be there in person and witness this. devil

What an incredible sky! The silhouettes of the pines anchor it perfectly.
Fine work!

This is no doubt an awesome cloud spectacle but I also love the manner in which you have used the silhouetted trees and the distant hills to frame the scene. Very, very nice!

Stunning capture Jerry. The trees in silhouette works very well.
