#1 of El Capitan is a pretty cool shot, though I agree with Fo that the face of El Cap is overexposed. Pull that down and that would be a really nice shot. Also in #2, the sky, I know it's gray, but it's too hot in that one too. I think #2 would be my favorite if the sky was pulled down a bit.
thanks for your feedback. A good lesson not to work on a non calibrated laptop! I replaced #1 and #2 (the former #1 is now the 2nd picture, and I replaced #2 with a sun rise version what is now #3)
