Yosemite NP. USA. May 2010. I was intrigued by pattern V created by the natural.

Settings: Nikon D80, 135mm Nikkor 70-200 VRI, f/8, 1/125, ISO100

C&C are welcome and appreciated.

The trees add some interesting scale to this. It's sometimes hard to imagine how big these pieces of granite are until there is a size comparison. Processing-wise, I could maybe see darkening the edges a bit to put a little more focus on the water.

I like the diagonal progression in the composition. I think the black point is set just a bit too dark, resulting in some loss of shadow detail.

Jim,

The larger version works much better - especially in an image where scale is an important feature of the image. BTW, if fixed your link for you. you should have "url=" you forgot the "=".

Very impressive view of the upper falls. I can't recall ever seeing that much volume, but also I think the way this was composed/cropped that really adds to the illusion of scale.

To me, the web quality is a little off and the falls have lost some detail in the water, but that's minor. I think you did well to capture and showcase this view of Yosemite Falls.
