Not very creative for Reflection Friday, however the Tioga Pass area of Yosemite Nation Park's high country is breath taking. Most of the tourist traffic ends up in Yosemite Valley. Do consider a drive oner the Tioga Pass road as an indepth visit to the Park.

PP: RAW image, boosted the saturation, set the black and white points, framed and sized.

Hi Daniel,

First; you are more than correct on the Tioga Pass, awesome!
On the photo: great shot (not to been seen when only going to the valley) of this magnificent NP, just like i remember the place myself. Great one for the theme with the perfect reflection in the water.

Best regards,

Edwin

hi dan, ah yes, this takes me back to the summer i think when you posted your travellin pics,

Hi Dan,
This is where you have been hiding. My daughter and her family are planning a visit to Yosemite this summer I will be sure to show her this lovely photo. The reflection of the lush green pine trees is very striking in the calm surface of this shallow lake. The vivid blue sky make a beautiful contrast to the green.
Regards, Tom

Thanks for the mini-vacation today:) A peaceful and natural scene...food for the soul. The reflection gives us an extra measure of green trees to enjoy. Good composition and flow through the image. Very pleasant!

nice place to make a photo, good light, colours are a bit weird IMO, hope you don't mind i say balance of colours is not in my tastes :)
regards

Best regards!

...tomorrow... :)

Hello Daniel, (I have only just connected Daniel and Boonie, a bit slow on the uptake I'm afraid!)

This just reminded me of a shot from a National Geographic! Now there's a compliment!

I just like it! I think it is beautifully composed, I like the way the mountain is standing on tiptoe to peep over the tall trees and the refections in the mirrorlike lake are very good!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Love this place, and you have captured it well Daniel.
I feel as if I can smell the trees and feel the warmth of the mountain Sun,
Great capture and theme entry.

Hi Daniel,

Very beautiful reflexion for the theme, also a good composition and an excellent POV. The colours and clarity are great. TFs

Best regards,
Sorina

Hello Daniel

Not creative! hmm I dont think that matters at all. When you post an image as beautiful as this who needs creaitvity, thats what photography is all about.. sometimes we need to work and change a shot and another time a scene says it all.. as indeed this does...absolutely stunning view, really sharp detail and colour and the whole image is superbly balanced. Lovely posting my friend

TFS and for joining in the theme

kind regards Helen

Hello Daniel,
Yosemite...that is the one place I would like to see one day.
Beautiful refreshing shot.
Nice color and composition. TFS

hello Daniel ,
A lovely postcard of Yosemite National Park . perfect POV for the ultimate composition and light. Quiet and cloud free day for a visit and photo shoot. The water surface , the reflections and even the bottom of the lake are just perfectly clear .
Bravo!
Robert

Hi Dan,

When nature presents you with such beauty, you have to capture it!
I did see a documentary on Discovery Channel about mega vulcanic eruptions that could happen here - ah well, nature's disasters can happen everywhere.
We hope to visit this area some time with a RV and I will indeed remember the Pass!

Dan..
Very well captured ,
I like the softness of this and the colours and detail just right.
Yosemite Nation Park ... is that rock ' El Capitan' close by here ??...
TFS,

hi Daniel !
this is an excellent view. the clear water (in foreground) adds a well deserved bonus.

Well done.
Best regards, Daniel

Hello Dan,
A lovely landscape, excellent light!
The lake present an interesting combination of reflection and clarity in the water as we can see the logs on the bottom...
A well composed presentation, sharp details and attractive colours!
