Observed along the edge of a Yellowstone thermal hot spring on a chilly autumn morning.
A fallen spruce snag partly obscured by billowing steam.
Comments welcome as always.

This is another of those cases where clicking on the image shows a higher resolution with improved contrast. The basic visible image which is initially showing looks a bit on the bland side.
Len, Photographs with fog are generally very captivating and interesting because they are a little enigmatic, allowing speculation about everything that is beyond the penumbra.
This image is an example of how the absence of definition and detail can be interesting, allowing the eye to wander through the image in search of meaning.
I think that lately we have been somehow led to seek and produce very sharp and detailed images (at least I have), when this may not always be interesting and captivating for the message that we want to send or transmit.
My only observation in relation to this image is that perhaps it could be rotated so that the trunk, instead of going down to the right, goes down to the left, or rather goes up from the left to the right, which is after all our reading direction.
I also like the soft and somewhat confused tones within the whole image.
Cheers !

Thanks to Geoff and Antonio, appreciate your comments........
James, thanks for your comment......
+1 (almost) to what Antonio says - I don't mind the left to right fall off.
