The colors are spectacular.
Maybe you can try to remove all things ordinary (trees and people) and crop to just the shapes and colors. I think image # 2 can be a guide.
Nice work.

Thanks for sharing these great colours dancing around each other, Almazar. : )

The first one of the waterfall and the Abyss with its gem-like blue are my favourites. JBTaylor's advice is also good for creating abstract art with such amazing shapesand colours.

I hope you are not offended by what I found in your images because to me they are truly beautiful.
I will delete them if you wish.

Oh my God! This is so beautiful, both the nature and the shots!

Thank you all for the comments. Yellowstone is truly spectacular. jbtaylor, I thank you for finding my pictures good enough to inspire you to take a look at them at a different way. All my photography trips tend to be family vacations so I want to look at the images as I saw them and remember what happened when those images were taken (e.g. when the family stayed in the car, bored that I am taking yet another shot, etc.). I have posted the following link to a 4.5 minute video of our Yellowston and Grand Teton trip before (a lot of the driving part, because driving at the Tetons and Yellowstone is a vacation in itself). I hope you don't mind me posting the link again. I will still edit the video later.

Again, thank you for your comments.

I like Waterfall in Mamouth Hot Springs and Colors of the Rainbow best but Waterfall is spoilt by the foreground branches. I actually like the crop as it is. It would take a little time but I think those branches could be cloned out in Photoshop or Elements without too much trouble, leaving you with a great shot.

[Almazar80]

I thought about cloning the branches out but decided to leave it in because it is part of the shot. maybe it is just me but I want to show the scene as is, even with the branches stiicking out so readily.

Almazar,

I respect you for that. If we all thought the same way what a boring life it would be.

Cheers,
Bob

Sweet, sweet colors Almazar80! I like the second image, with the deep green and yellow the best.

The colors of Yellowstone are amazing. Every time I am there they take my breath away. You captured them very well!
