I'm slowly working my way through images from Sequoia and Yosemite last month. I particularly like this one because it looks so cool and peaceful. In fact, it's right next to the road in Yosemite Valley. Except for nature photographers who know about this little gem, people fly past in their cars all day long like its rush hour in the city and miss this beauty.

This was taken late afternoon. f/8, 0.6 sec, ISO 400, polarizer.

Richard, this is pretty nice, I do like the way you have the water exiting into the foreground. background is a little soft but it doesn't take away from beauty of the little place. I think since Ansel shot it, it doesn't get very neglected.

nice little stream! an alternate might include cropping off the top a bit.

Classic little scene. I would concur with Cory's suggestion on the top crop to eliminate the bright area.
