Title:	Castle Geyser & watch dog
Gear used:	OM-4 + Tamron 70-150/f3.5 at 150mm
Diaphragm:	f8
Shutter speed:	Auto, speed unknown
Film used:	Kodak Max 400
Technical information:	Bright sunny day, so I just set the camera on auto and f8 knowing that the shutter speed would be around 1/1000 and no worry about hand-holding for the snaps.
Subject information:	Castle Geyser, in the geyser basin of Yellowstone National Park, USA. Shot from the backside during a period of relative quietness. The bison also was quietly swishing his tail to stir up a little dust.

Ohhh, really nice! The Yellowstone park geysers are very fine natural landmarks indeed. The bison is icing on the cake; it creates for a distinctively raw natural image.

Great composition, picture is actually timeless with the subject matter.

Nice combination of subjects, both possessing a lot of latent power.

Two monuments in one ! Very effective composition, strongly relating these two ancient acquaintances. A great photograph. You have captured an essence of the general landscape as well. Just how close were you to the bison? It seems to be ( I don't know bison behaviour at all) that maybe he was a little irritated by seeing a human so close.

Nice shot Uncle Paul! Great effect of the dust that almost makes it look like he is floating on the ground.
