Old Faithful and the Milky Way

This could have been a really cool picture. Let's state the obvious first. Why is the ground and old faithful composed so close to the bottom of the image? It barley fits in the image. Besides that, the color balance is a bit blue. If you have a chance, I'd say go back, re take the picture, but take a couple minutes to think to yourself, how does this composition look? Having your subject way at the bottom is not the best choice to make. If this image was composed where old faithful was in a better position, I would have blown away by this image. It's the little things that can make or break a photo. Think about the "rule" of thirds.
