I spent last weekend (May 18-19) in Yosemite with the primary goal of using the crescent moon to light the ground in some night shots. This ended up working out, but we also had some beautiful afternoon and sunset light. So here are a few favorites (in the order captured). Any thoughts are welcome.
All great but I really dig the first one and third one. On a first one I like you've captured a few trees (and only few) so with the half dome the shot looks really very picturesque (to me). Great color and compo on a third one. Nice stuff.....

Beautiful photos! While, like others, I also like 1 and 4, no. 2 makes me dream (even though as a night landscape, no. 5 is more 'wow")
I totally get that. The second is actually the shot I timed my trip for.

Thanks a lot Greg. I'm glad you commented on the third as it isn't my normal type of shot and I liked how it came out.

#1 & #4 for me as well, but each is well done. You must have had a great time planning and obtaining such wonderful images.
There was such nice light that weekend that the whole trip was a blast. And then the skies were kind enough to clear for the evening. Thanks for commenting.

Yosemite is why I'm on this forum and taking delivery of my first camera, a Sony a7 iii, tomorrow. Great photos! I can't wait to go back.
Any day in Yosemite is a good day. Enjoy your new camera.
Very wonderful images and very well processed! Thank you for sharing the pleasantries here!
The last image, on the other hand, has pretty obvious blending issues. The land just does not fell well matched with the sky, especially the tops of the land. I think the image very much worthy of fine tuning to perfection.
