Great Fountain Geyser Yellowstone National Park

While visiting Yellowstone we drove by the Fountain Geyser and learned it was about time for an eruptions. Well, "about time" took over an hour but we waited - watching it bubble an burp. The wait led to peak eruption at sunset. It made for a nice photo. I bumped my F stop up hoping to get a nice star burst. I didn't get that but overall, the setting sun made for a nice composition.

Any tips for how I might have gotten a real star burst?

Great shot and you positioned yourself very skillfully to get the light just right.
