Winter, Yosemite NP
I photographed El Capitan from the tunnel view parking lot in the
winter of 2001.

Canon Elan 35mm
Canon 35-105 Lens
Fuji Velvia 50 film

I thank you in advance for your critiques and comments.

Another nice Winter scene Robert. The clouds/fog in the valley and foreground trees covered in snow are a really nice combo.

Robert, the V-50 blue sure brings out the brrrrrrr factor on this one. I guess these trees are all history as seen in this scene?

Robert,
Nicely done. The BG lines of El Cap work well with the FG tree. Best Regards.

Robert,

Congrats for taking a different view from Tunnel View. The fog that climbs the valley walls is what creates great drama and image potential in Yosemite and this captures that very well. I like that Half Dome is visible giving this a definite sense of location. Personally, I might consider a little crop from the bottom as I think the snow-covered tree and the fog in the valley are competing for attention. Minor, but just a thought.
