I really like the choppy look of the ice leading the the fog enshrouded mountain. The movement in the fog is the cherry on top. Thanks for sharing.

That's nice Fred! If it were mine I would loose most of that dirty ice. For me its too distracting from what is some super cool fog on the granite!

That's real fine, Fred. I was sure that it was a fairly long exposure since you captured what seems like cloud motion across the face of that rock, but it was only 1/10. Must have been a natural effect. Love it!

Love the moving clouds surrounding the Big Granite.

When we were there last December, it was all bright clear skies.

Thanks for your feedback Charlie,
It was a windy afternoon and it was still drizzling.

Yeap, it was ice mixed with rain and dirt. Basically a big puddle!

Thanks for your idea.

Beautiful wrap-around fog! Great timing and composition - must have been a sight to behold in person!

Hey Fred,

I like the reflection of the trees in the ice, and your processing gives it a mood that I recognize as yours. You've balanced the left oak and El Cap in size, but I don't think that they have the same visual weight. El Cap with swirling mist is such a showstopper that my eye sticks there without moving to the rest of the scene. It should work in theory, and does if I force my eyes to move, but my eye is still mostly drawn to El Cap.

How is the 12mm for distortion? El Cap's nose looks a little bit long, but I don't usually take photos of El Cap from the meadow, so it could just be me.

Thank you Jeff. As you know it's a challenge finding a different composition at Yosemite.
This shot was indeed at f/10s but it was a 8-shot blended giving an impression of a 3-stop ND filter.

Gorgeous capture, comp, symmetry, color, reflections, atmospherics - I think I like it!

Did you take this with the SR app? I did not know you obtained the CV 12mm. That is turning into one of my favorite landscape lens!

I like this photo but it feels incongruous. Cloud movement does not match with trees standing still. This may be a paradigm shift with how photos are perceived in this day and age but maybe over a beer we can solve this and the world's problems.

Highlight left of Nose is also not in the reflection. Hmmmmm.

I got mostly rain. Most of my shooting this time was done using a rain cover. That's what's fun about Yosemite, you never know what you are gonna get! Thanks for your comment.

Thanks Mike. Yes it was an amazing afternoon with light peaking every now and then.

There were other photographers there as well.

Thanks Tim. I really appreciate your detailed feedback. I usually like having a stronger element which in this case is indeed El Cap. Perhaps it's too strong of a focus point on this image.
Regarding distortion, a 12mm does add a little unrealism to any scene but El Capitan has that look from that area. Of course it does not look like that in real life or when shooting with the 35mm lens.

Take care,
Fred
