Yellowstone—Revisited #6





Almost everyone who goes to Yellowstone visits Old Faithful.  I must admit, the fact that it goes off on such a regular schedule is impressive, but I found that many of the smaller geysers to be much more interesting because of what is around them.  Here, I like the small stream that ran beside the geyser. 
Enjoy.

  2. You got lucky. I sat for one of these to go off for over an hour and got nothing. Like the flow of the photo.

  3. I agree with Allen on the flow you created across the scene. Using the river to bring the viewer's eye into the photo to light upon the geyser was very effective. Nice capture.
