Yosemite Falls

This is the view to the right of the swinging bridge looking towards the gigantic two-stage Yosemite Falls. I had to get low in the mud for this one. Canon 5DMkII, 17-40mmL, ISO 800.
Thanks for looking!

Excellent. That's one of the best shots of this view that I've seen. You were fortunate to get still water for that reflection. Most of the times I'm at that spot there's enough riffle on the surface to mess it up.

Excellent shot, Ivan -- love the reflection. Just for fun, you should try a trick someone suggested to me once: Using Photoshop or similar processing software, invert the image, then crop out the "real" part. What's left (the reflected image only) looks like an impressionistic painting, especially if you add a slight touch of the Brush Stroke filter. This works best if there is a very slight ripple on the surface of the water.

Very, very nice, Ivan. Everything about it is just wonderful, but I particularly like the splash of bright green in the middle - where the trees are lit by the intermittent sunlight. You caught it at just the right moment. I'd say it was worth getting muddy for a shot like this!
