Morning Mist

I shot this while walking alone in one of the meadows of Yosemite Valley one morning in early November. The other guys were in El Capitan Meadow, I think. This is Liedig Meadow. Large version included, I hope you enjoy it.

The very first thing that strikes me aside from being a beautiful landscape image of the valley, is that all the time I spent in this meadow, I don't recall ever having noticed Half Dome! In fact I had to think for a second, was Half Dome even visible from that meadow?? Of course it is, I just never looked up I guess.
So with that, kudos for looking up! As I said, a wonderful image from and of Leidig Meadow.
Small nit/observation. Is there a slight halo between the pine covered ridge and the lower face of Half Dome? Not overly prominent, but if a halo from lightening that ridge, you might want to work that a little bit. I know you've asked previously how best to do that, unfortunately I don't have a good answer for ya. Not a huge deal, but something I noticed.
Oh, like Bill, I love the grasses here and that layer of fog is how I remember the meadow early in the morning.
