    Now thats what I call “Earthshot”-truly spectacular, and fully deserving to be POTD

    That is a great shot and great hardware too. I am a canon user too and it truly enables one to see the world from a different perspective. Nice colors and great instance.

  14. laurens laurens Says:

    the steam, the mountains, the air and the clouds,…

    it al fits wonderfull

  15. Lori Lori Says:

    Absolutely stunning! Colours are perfect and the textures can be felt! Congrats on POTD!

  16. Matthew Matthew Says:

    Thanks for all the comments. The hole in the foreground is a hot spring where the water does not have enough pressure to erupt like a geyser. The colours on the ground are caused by bacterial growths.

  17. Sue Gagnon Says:

    I, too, am officially jealous and impressed. While it is truly difficult to imagine going wrong in Yellowstone, a supurb vantage was utilized in capturing the dichotomy of life evidenced by the geyser with the pool of pristine water just beneath. I love this shot.
