Hot Pool

This one is actually more of a pool. Like the others I'd appreciate input on how to improve it, including visuals.

This one is dazzlingly beautiful. You really captured the mineral-y green in the hot pool and the crusty mineral salts. The only thing I would change would be to clone out the dark spot in the light area near top left. I tried "auto sharpen" and liked the effect. Color, composition and framing all look spot-on to me just as you presented it. Others may have more to say, but I give it :thumbup: :thumbup: .

I like it very, very much, except for one thing: the polarizer cut all reflections to the point that I cannot tell that it is under water. Looking at it at higher magnification I can see faint ripples (presumably because it's not that hot), but if I have never seen a hot (or at least warm) pool, I may not know what it is I am looking at since there are pretty much zero reflections. The picture stands alone. The colors are wonderful. If I made the picture I might back my polarizer off just a tad to pick up some reflections. :)

Thanks. I think I have one with steam bubbles. Maybe that would be better to use.

Wonder what it would of looked like if it had a few water ripples in it from a small stone, or a steam bubble

I rather like it. I like how it changes the background color under the shadow. For me it adds interest without being distracting.

I do not mind the lack of surface reflections, nor really the fence shadow. I would like to see the dark triangle (left side) cloned-out, and the white crystals, top & bottom, toned-down a bit. That makes the scene less busy.
