This was made early in the morning on the first day of my Fall trip to Yosemite under a heavily overcast sky. This group of trees is located in El Capitan Meadow.

Looks great Preston. The color/sat and contrast all look good. I like the mix of trees, grasses in the meadow and the granite walls. I do wish for a bit more room up top, but that's minor.
Indeed a great and productive trip, now 2 months ago already! Looking forward to the next one.

Very nice, Preston, particularly the larger version. For me this all about color.
Very nice, Preston. It's nice to shoot under the huge softbox of overcast skies. Maybe a crop of the bottom to balance the fact that the tree top is near the edge.
Honestly, I don't remember why I set the top of the frame where I did, but with hindsight always being 20-20, I should have raised the front standard a bit.

I agree with others regarding a little more room on top, but still a great shot. I like the warm colors in the fg against the granite wall and trees.
