Yosemite Moments Done

I want to thank everyone for all your honest, thoughtful and insightful comments on the images in this series. Before starting this series I just decided to post things chronologically, and this one is indeed the last image I made on the trip, and in 2012 for that matter.

Very interesting that Youssef and I literally were shooting side by side and I continue to be amazed at how we can see, interpret and process images so differently even presented with the same exact scene. And that's a good thing by the way.

So I'll leave you with my last image of 2012. This one is quite a bit different than any of the other images in the series. I have no idea how this will be received. I purposefully processed and developed this image with reduced color/sat in mind. I did not want the grasses, greenery and autumn ferns to take away from the ghost-like forest, so this one is a bit more subdued than my other work. The use of the Orton technique was also applied here too, but subtley applied so as not to be an obvious factor. also, a square crop from a much busier horizontal original.

Thanks once again for looking in. I've got a few stragglers I may show from this trip and earlier images from 2012, but for now, that's it.
