I visited Yosemite NP the weekend of 11/20 and I was looking for snow as per forecast, but no snow! It was chilling though. Here are 3 photos of Gates of the Valley
Thanks for looking and comments.

Nice set👍🏻 Might be best to clone out the bright spot on lower left on #2. Just my .02 cents.
Thanks for input, I cloned the bright spot.
Love the sharpness of these - did you focus stack in the first pic?
I LOVE pics that have that realism where they look more like a portal that you can step through and enter the picture. Your first two does that for me.

Thanks, appreciated your comment, no I did not use focus stacking on #1.
1 is fantastic
2 is too much shadow lifting and highlight suppression for my test with shifting of colors and loss of contrast. excellent composition. it does appear to be tilted clock wise a bit, but thats probably due to foreground lines. I think with a little more contrast, it would be great.
3 is good. crisp with natural colors. Though the formula for the composition usually works very well, for me the foreground rock does not hold enough interest by itself as a foreground element. That said its a solid image.

Nice set I like 2 the best.
Thanks, before posting I thought I liked #1 best since it offers new perspective, but most people like the full scenery view of #2.
