Just got back from a few days in Yosemite National Park. Not my ideal time to go, would rather have gone in the Winter. Still it was breathtaking and I managed to snap a few scenes like this one. Have a great Sunday!

HI Vincent...great shot..wonderful details and tones...do you have any time to get together in the next few weeks? I am going to Asia on June 6th for two weeks (6 countries!). It would be great to learn something about scenery shots before then...

This is where I am DYING to go! Man, I would never leave! What a great shot and you got A LOT of space with that 24-105mm..my favorite lens right now! Love the processing here! Fantastic color in this! Beautiful..I'm jealous!

Hi Vincent,
You 'snapped' -as you say - this scene perfectly, this slow shutter speed had a great effect on the flowing water, wonderful rapresentation. I like you vertical positioning and that we can see the whole scene from the ground to the sky above those majestic rocks. Its colours are dreamy, like in a tale book. Fine job, TFS!
Greetings,
Kristof

HI Vincent
You definitely brought back some great shots. So am guessing the trip was a success.
This one has an incredible softness making it look like a painting.
Very beautiful and TFS

Hi Vincent,
That is a lot of an image! details, composition and colours meet to form a sensible invitation to walk to the end of the trail. Good shot!

Hello, Vincent -
Excellent image combining a dreamy slow-shutter effect with the awesome sense of space and beauty of this grand park. Wonderfully composed with warm natural colors. Well done.

10 out of 10 for this one Vincent - superb composition and clarity.. The 1/4 second has given a nice blur to both the water and some parts of the tree.

Excellent - this one should be in NG magazine.

Cheers
David
