Those low clouds make this phenomenal! Maybe B+W too?

I love this ultra-grand scenic of the icon. Nice.

Great framing, the low clouds create an interesting pattern at the bottom with the trees while the snow on the cliffs with the waterfall are great in their own right. Very well composed image.

A beautiful composition, Richard! Placing the waterfalls off center works well,
and the mist layers are beautiful. I also like the variations in the color of the
granite walls. It looks like you took advantage of wonderful light. When was
this shot?

Very, very nice, Richard. Wonderful conditions you captured making a beautiful image! I love the trees in the fog/clouds, and then the falls and snow too.

Thanks for the comments, everyone.

Robert, this was captured on February 15 of this year.

Fantastic Richard, not much else to say...except that I want to see this LARGE!

Oh, and I think B&W would work wonderfully as well!

That's a beautiful shot Richard. The fog in the valley really makes this. I also would love to see it large.

Richard, the fog really make this shot special.

Great take on this icon, the fog is just wonderful.

Well, the falls hardly matter here. I'm in love with the tress and the clouds surrounding them. That's quite a sight.

Love this shot! The fog certainly makes the shot.

Yea...uhm, crazy clouds. So many possibilities. Great work. B/w. Trees only, etc. Nice

Beautiful ocean of fog among the trees. I could even see this as a pano of just the fog among the trees without Bridalveil at all.

Fantastic image. The position of the falls, the low clouds makes this a winner

This is just great Richard. Wonderful POV and a great scene. Have to agree with Tony that the trees and fog alone would make a great pano image.

This is amazing. Two images in one. The trees and fog always amaze me but then you also have the snow highlighted cliffs. I just want to study this image. Really nice.

Beautiful composition and atmosphere, love it Rich!

Wow ... the fog down there is impressive. Love it.

Impressive perspective!
I would have liked to have seen a larger version.
A lot going in the photo. Fog is a big plus, especially with the snow and water fall.
Contrast of the water elements with the colored rock is especially nice. Also the contrast of tree tops through the fog.
Horizontal and vertical lines complete this fine photo.
Good eye.
the fisch

fabulous atmosphere with the clouds. to my eye, should be in b&w!

OH yes! Well done Richard.

Love that canopy shrouded in fog!

Awesome Richard! How do you expect us to compete with that!!

Very pretty Richard. the combination of snow, Yosemite's beautiful rock face color, the green trees, and low hanging clouds make this sing.

A lot to digest here ~ beautiful.

Terrific!! Any way to get some more room at the top? The fog and falls are just awesome.

Gorgeous!!!

Awesome image Richard! The fog adds such a dynamic element to the scene and really finishes off an already beautiful view!

awesome fog, I love it in colour and the waterfall really brings out the epic scale...

The fog really pushes this over the top and the warm light of the cliffs contrasting with the blues. I hope you took some telephoto shots of just the foggy trees. Beautiful image Richard. Well done!

Saw this on 500 and LOVE IT!!! Can I please have the raw file? Never hurts to ask...
