In the Grand Prismatic Scheme of Things
Uploaded: July 22, 2012
Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park. I cropped the original image and slightly adjusted the lighting and H&SL. Thanks so much for looking at my gallery!

These colors are just so vivid and bright--I would LOVE to see this in person! Love the curving lines! #1476311Melinda B. Shiflet July 22, 2012
Thank you so much, Lisa! I had seen a picture of this in one of the Wyoming travel guides, and thought to myself, WOW -- I want to be behind the lense of that camera!! Well, we weren't exactly from the same angle as what I had seen (that required about a 2-mile hike up a steep mountain), but the colors were really pretty interesting! Those pretty blues look calming and cool, but in reality, you would not want to fall into one of those springs!! They are scalding scalding hot. They sure make for interesting photos, though. I did bump up the H&SL a little bit to accentuate it just a tad. Thanks so much for your kind comments, my friend! #10240497Donna La Mattino Pagakis August 11, 2012
Truly incredible, wow. I have never been to Yellowstone, but have it on my wish list. Just lovely! #10272461Melinda B. Shiflet August 12, 2012
Thank you so much, Donna! It is a neat park as well as the other National Parks that we got to visit! Some of the features that we saw were just not like anything that we have here on the East Coast. I'll tell you this beautiful nation of ours has so incredibly much to offer in the way of scenery and opportunities! Thanks so much again for your sweet comments! #10272790Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
