First time i've gotten a plume this close. Any tips for the future? Thanks!

I like this shot overall. The only thing that bothers me is the hot spot in the lower right half of the photo. Also, I would add a bit more breathing room along the top edge, and maybe crop a little bit off the left edge - so with a little bit more editing, I think this shot could be made even better
