Very cool shot Jim! I also prefer the one with the green pool because the cloud action in the sky is better on that one too.

Thanks Ben, that was my thought too with the clouds. But it's glad to hear someone else think the same way. I may go back and find a frame a little closer to the one with the green pools where the clouds haven't moved quite as much and process that one.

I support Sunny here!
Although the green looks like its from Ghostbusters, still adds to the scene...

The second though has its own beauty...

Andrey

Hey Andrey... man don't be going and supporting Sunny... sheesh... it's hard enough to keep his head from inflating so big and floating away...

But thanks with your choices, I appreciate hearing your thoughts.

Jim,

I have been reading about this place for years, always wanted to go. Thanks for posting these.

The green pool shot is interesting, but it distracts from the image a little. The second is great.

Ryan

Hey Ryan,

Yeah, I have been wanting to go too. It literally just fell into my lap to go there, so I didn't hesitate.

I appreciate your thoughts between the two.

Wow!
That shot is psychedelic!!!!
I like the green pool emphatically. It puts the shot over the top in color without looking 'unnatural'. I'd say Sunny has good taste. lol. Color balance of an astro landscape, I have come to believe in my very limited experience, needs to be whatever works with the foreground - blue to grey, dark to light.
The second one is, as said, is virtually identical to the former except for the green pool and very very good as well. I suppose it comes down to a matter of taste. I haven't checked your blog in a while,...Show more →

Hey David,

Man... you guys are going to give Sunny an even bigger head. Sometimes I end up calling Sunny as Charlie Brown by mistake his head is already so big...

Thanks for your thoughts, but man... now I better go update my blog, I haven't done that in a while. It's hard to keep a blog going...

Great shot Jim. I definitely like the green pool version better. Adds that little bit of pizzaz into the photo.

Hey Jim,

Both are terrific, but, sorry, Sonny, but I like No. 2 a lot better.

The scene is otherworldly enough and the green pool seems to be piling on. Plus green pool distracts a little from the geyser, which is the main event. I think No. 2 has enough nice, little bonus features -- the cloud movement, stars and splash of light on the horizon.

This is a less-is-more choice for me.

BOOO! Definitely the green pool. I know you're old and stuck in your ways...

but...that green pool shot is AWESOME!

you should just remove that 2nd shot.

I have to say agree with Sunny on this one, Jim. Both are outstanding images. However, the first image with the green pool really pulls my eyes in and keeps it there. Nicely done!

Second one for me. The green does have it's draw but I do like the more natural (moon) light.

The exposure and composition are both exceptional! The sky is perfect and everything in the frame is just so interesting to look at.

Excellent work here Jim. Very fine processing on both of them. I've a slight preference for the natural light; but also love the green pools. Sure wish I could have caught up with you two.

"I actually did vote for the second, before I voted against it."
The green is growing on me.
