Thank you Joshua ! I love that traditional style of Chinese painting and Huangshan was the inspiration for many of them. Supposedly the most picturesque mountain in China, or so it's said.

Fred - loving this shot! My eye is really drawn to darker blue tones and deep shadows... Would you mind sharing the PP details? Focus stack?
Thanks Gary! No filters were used. It was still very dark outside.
I used 'aperture stack'. I took one image at f/8 and another right after at f/18.
The f/18 was a longer exposure (2-stop) so I borrowed the sky (smoother) and bottom rocks (sharper) from it. (I used ZereneStacker)
the f/8 exposure was used for everything else.
IMO, this technique produces more natural results in comparison to focus stack but it really depends on the scene.
Here is a 1:1 crop showing El Capitan (top) and the other the extreme bottom right corner (bottom)
I'm really enjoying shooting with the Loxia line, especially the new 21mm f/2.8. The sunstar is very attractive even at f/11. See this example below:

Kevin and Joshua, look what I found:
Very cool ! I recognise a few of those places; Stone Monkey watching the Sea, Qiang Ling Tai, Lion Peak, Panyunlou (Cloud Dispelling Pavilion) etc .....
Photo of Big Meadows, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia taken at 8:08 AM on June 9, 2015. Much of the meadow is being bathed in fairly early morning sunlight as the morning mist is clearing and moving through the meadow. The lighting was changing as the mist rolled through. Image taken with my tripod mounted A7r and my Leica M WATE lens set to 21mm; ISO 200, lens set to probably f8 for 1/125 second. Processed in LR6.
Hard to keep up with the pages! We got stuck in the house for 3 days due to the big snow storm. Just played around with the FE 90mm macro. Thanks for looking.
