They are fantastic! I'll be flying to Cali next year for an exchange program and I would certainly visit that place and try to capture some pretty photos too.
Great shots.....I am leaving this next Saturday, July 19th to fly to San Francisco for a two week vacation that includes 5 days at Yosemite. Your pictures are making it much more difficult to concentrate on work!
You sure got some sweet light on these! My favorite is #3. I like your take on the Half Dome and the Giant Staircase in #1, but the dead grasses poking into the frame from the bottom do take away from the shot. Compare the bottom edge to that of your #3 shot and see how clean that is. #2 is a very good shot, but as much as I love saturated shots this one you need to cut down on it. The greens are not looking natural. You have enough color as it is in that shot, I think taking the saturation across the board down 10% in that shot would still give you lovely colors and the shot would end up looking much more realistic.

Yosemite will be the main thing for your exchange program.

These shots were taken at Glacier Point: I was busy taking tickets at Yosemite Theater, and so I missed this incredible light. The first too look a bit artificial because the colors are deeply saturated; However, what isn't to my taste doesn't mean it won't be to anybody else's taste.
I'm with the majority here. I like the third one the best.
