You will have to let me know when you are in Rochester. Perhaps we can arrange to go shoot some images together. |

For me this brings back memories of just how dangerous it is standing on those rocks to get this shot. I understand they have put up fences now!
To my eye you have done a good job with the Dof - creating a fore-ground below and capturing the interesting sky in the distance. I feel that your capture and post work has resulted in colors that are very pleasing to the viewers' eyes. (I've seen many images of this that don't.) After much thought I believe that your capture of the rock on the lower right adds to the image. Many would say that you should have moved left to get the entire river bend, but 10,000 people must have that shot. Yours is unique. |

Rajani, all that I can do is agree with the others. This is an awesome image. I Googled the bridge and looked at the images there - yours is better than most of those.
Can you share a bit more about the settings that you used to get such a sharp image in low light? Were yo using a very high ISO?
Thanks for sharing. |

For me your post-processing work has greatly enhanced the image - removing the sky has helped bring focus to the dandelion field in the foreground. To my eye the brighter roof on the house works better than on the barn as the latter seems to distract my eye.
It would be great if you could return to the same spot in the fall, re-shoot and then combine - getting the foreground and mid-ground blossoms together with multi-colored leaves of the fall. |

Lou, this is certainly one of the great geological locations on earth - a special place. The colors of the pools are intense (as are the temperatures).
To me your broad saturations have made parts of the image less realistic (eg the water) and some of the image (ie the majority of the pool coverage) less desirable. I would suggest masking everything but the small portion of the pool and saturating just that. |

Gary, thanks for sharing. What an amazing sight. Being from the east coast I have gotten just a few chances to visit Yosemite. I am awed by its natural beauty even before seeing this phenomena. Thanks for sharing it.
I think that there are several pieces to the composition that draw my eye - the pines in the lower left, the snow on the bluff and the sky. I feel that more of the last would further enhance the image and might have chosen to leave all of the sky you captured originally.
From my experience two questions arise. First, is the color and brightness you achieved post-processing real and just wasn't captured in the initial shot? Second, since you didn't mention it, were you using a tripod that enabled you to shoot at 1/6 second with a 150-200mm lens and still get this sharpness? |

To my eye you did an excellent job in Capture with the composition of this image. I feel that the Post-processing work has well brought out the color of the tree. It seems to me that the color of that tree and the line of the bridge draw and hold the viewer's eye.
From my experience over-exposure always enhances the fog so I am wondering if you had any other exposures that could have been blended with this to make right side background as "foggy" as the left side and further enhance the tree and bridge. |
