West Thumb Abstract, Yellowstone National Park. 

Amazing place if you like to photograph nature's abstracts.  Crazy crowded though in the summer.

Canon 5DM3
Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L
ISO200 f/8 1/320sec

Thanks for having a look and for any comments and critiques.

Wonderful abstract, Eva, with a nice mix of cool and warm tones. I would suggest burning down the white areas at right to keep focus in the center of the image.

Lovely abstract Eva.  A refreshingly different take on Yellowstone's beauty.

I love this kind of image and subject, Eva. I like the colors and shapes and especially the contrast with the orange part. I can look at it for hours.

Cool abstract. I like Dave's suggestion. I need to get up to Yellowstone. Too bad it gets so crowded, pretty much all the time.

Wonderful textures, as well as colors and lines. Love this kind of abstract. I don't find the white too bright, but I might like to see it burned down just to compare.

I really like this Eva.  Yellowstone is magical, but like all the parks these days, overwhelmed by people.  The only thing I could suggest is to burn the white tip at the very top of the frame.

Eva,

Great to see an image post from you.  This is an excellent nature, natural abstract.  My first impression was that the beautiful pool of blue looks so inviting.... makes me want to jump right in to cool off.....  I'm guessing though, that might not be a good idea. angel

I might agree with burning down the right - but not too much. I like the contrast and really the light and colors look true for the lighting conditions.

This is framed nicely and well seen.  Excellent!

Lon
