Here is one of the pictures from my day trip to Yosemite this past Saturday. The Merced was super glassy with some great granite reflections. The larger one can be seen here:

See the earlier post for current Yosemite conditions report.

That's a great spot for shooting El Cap! Nice reflection. I really liked the first Gates of the Valley composition, nice snowy foreground.

Derek, I'd be hard pressed to pick my fav from this fine grouping overall. The reflective ones are a bit unique to say the least, but even the classic views are very nice IMO.

Nice take on an often photographed scene. I love the clarity in that reflection. In the perfect world I wouldn't have minded that snow line mirroring the outline of El Capitat's top at the bottom of the frame. Well seen and captured!
