Really like the first shot, nice color contrast between the cool overall light and the warm glow of the sun on the rock face. I really like that alpine area of Yosemite.
Very cool shots. I like #2 the best here. I like the idea of #1, but it looks to me to have had the saturation pushed too much as the red on Half Dome is a shade of red I don't recall ever seeing on it before.

Jim, the saturation isn't pushed at all. I've been there dozens of times and I've never seen it light up so red. Although it was very brief. I think it had to do with the low cloud cover. It was actually starting to snow when I took the shot, wind was blowing pretty hard as the front was coming in.
I was hoping the red was going to make its way into the clouds, but then the color disappeared as quickly as it came.

Lovely light on the Half Dome in first, but I like 2nd very much as well. I'd crop out the big hunk of a tree on the left edge though.
Thanks!
Just added two more crops. (3 and 4) Think I'm leaning toward the tighter crop myself.
