Yosemite's Bounty

A splendid arrangement indeed. Thanks for the larger version to enjoy too.

Wonderful color feast for the eyes Chris but what I really like are the trucks which add some varity to the scene. Beautiful work!

Beautiful. From the thumbnail I thought it was New England.

Wow, beautiful tapestry of color, love the graphic pattern of the trunks in the upper left.

What a gorgeous feast of color, Chris, and the tree trunks add the perfect touch. Fantastic.

Wonderful intense color and nice variation for a great comp. Good one.

I know this place, Ive seen it in spring lush and green and white with new fallen snow, but this gives a new meaning to Fall color in California, thanks for sharing Chris.

This is lovely, Chris. I love the color palette and the tree trunks add a graphic quality to the image. Nicely seen and executed.

Chris, I am really impressed by the continuing evolution and beauty of your work. You hit this right on the money! No nits from me.

Nice work!

I like the colors here. They don't aren't over saturated. Very nice image I really like it.

Wow, I had no idea the area got so colorful. Very nice.

What a great patchwork of color! What can I say, it simply works for me.

WOW! Great to see color like that in Yosemite. Really nice palette to explore!

wow...wonderful colors

Beautiful!
Wonderful color palette and the trunks add interest.

Rich color, lots of detail and a fine comp all come together here.

This is really nice, Chris. Beautiful colors and great comp. The tree trunks across the upper part of the frame really worked nice. Very nice work.

Wonderful combination of colors, love the mixed in greens to add depth. Nice capture.

Dang Chris this is just full of color. Its nice to see such lush greens mixed in with the fall colors. THe top half triangle works well with the trunks and bottom half with the sloping patch.

Nice work man

I have also found that previously burned areas lead to a plethora of condensed color after a few years. This is beautiful Chris. I like the diagonal lines intersected by the vertical trunks too. Another very effective composition. Your photography has reached a new level of maturity - consistently superior images and super strong compositions, and you only seem to keep improving. IMO, you are currently among the top few individuals leading the charge here at NPN, leaving the rest of us mere mortals enviously chasing you.

Tremendous range of fall colors, beautifully captured. The large version is a treat. The tree trunks are a nice element.

Chris,

So that's what this looks like! See my image here as I waited for nearly an hour for the fog to clear....

But now I know why you were so interested in returning there a couple of times. Wow, what a display of color! The old, burned trees really help tie all the color together. Just beautiful!

I thought this was the best year for color in Yosemite Valley I had ever seen and clearly the color extended way beyond the valley. What a grand year!

Lots to look at here, love the color variations and the burned trunks, spot on comp to.

Chris,

I saw this area on the last day of my workshop but we were on our way up to Sentinel Dome and failed to stop for it. Now I am sorry we did not. This is really an amazing photo.

This is nice Chris, I tried this area on my way out of the valley on Sunday,but the rain held me back. Great shooting with you. Hey maybe we can get together this winter. Yosemite or Death Valley. I'll drop you an e-mail if I can get away. Nice work!

This turned out excellent, Chris! Great colors and well done on the comp. Even Maggie approves.

Bill,
WOW! Thanks so much for all your kind and supportive words. But you better stop, you're starting to make me blush! Your latest compliment is very generous. I don't know if I agree with it, but you being you, I'm inclined to take your word for it!

Thank so much to everyone else also for the kind words. I really appreciate it a lot! It's nice to have the support and the acceptance of my work in this way. I'm humbly grateful.

Chris

Lon,
That's funny, but too bad also. It was raining on me at the time of this capture. The fog waited for you I guess. I actually did do some bushwhacking, but in the end, this shot was from the road. Oh well, now we know to check it again next year!

Chris

Great shot Chris. Often these can look overly busy, but this looks fantastic.

Man, is that some great color! Fantastic mix of reds and greens and yellows. Very nice comp and the light really lets the color come through. Great shot.

Simply amazing color and line to this photo. Great choice to go tight. The processing here is super smooth. Excellent image.
