I agree with comments above. Both are nice. The second is a great blend of composition, color and fog.
Found this while hiking at the local SP last week, in the woods, no roads close by.

A couple more from a trip to the Yellowstone area this past fall. These two are from the Norris Geyser Basin in Yellowstone. It is one of those areas that is fascinating and difficult to photograph, at least to me. One must remain on the boardwalks. That presents a couple of problems, vibrations and rumblings from the geysers and vibrations from people walking by. I am generally there when there are fewer people - early mornings or in the evening. And you must also work for your compositions from a restricted area, and that I understand being such a fragile and also dangerous area. The first one was taken in the evening. I kept hoping the sky would catch more color, but it never did. It was taken with a 300 on the Ebony 8x10 using Velvia 50. The second one was taken with a 450 on Velvia 100. While not a fan of Velvia 100, it really did a very nice job on the muted tones of the photo.
Very nice, Jim -- I especially like the lack of sky/horizon in the second one --yet it feels like it does have one.
PS -- Even AA got a ticket at Point Lobos for going off the trail! And I have been yelled at by a ranger in Bryce Canyon for going off the trail -- I had the 4x5 set-up already, but he let me make the exposure.
Thankfully, he did not catch me making this one (5x7 neg), but we were waaaaay off trail!
