  Wow - Kirk - your landscapes are beautiful. As gorgeous and well done as this is - I still prefer the colored version best.

  I Like it. Great tonality in the B&W and it works very well with the snow and mist. Wonderful POV and comp. Great capture.

  This is fabulous Kirk, I like it much better than the first one...great DOF with the foreground trees and the mountain in focus...the clarity in the mountain is great and the exposure is much better than the other one with plenty of detail in the trees and less shadow on the mountain...well done..

  Just gorgeous, Kirk. Or do we need to start calling you Ansel? Great clarity in this image and it is very commanding!

  Yeah, late on the Ansel comments, but stunning is a great word! Love the clouds lingering alongside the mountain!

  Ansel Adams indeed! Have you checked your birth certificate lately Kirk?? You must be operating under an assumed name! :)

  THanks all for the great comments. I truly have to say that I had more pleasure capturing these than any other set that I've taken. I've been waiting for a wintery Yosemite for a long time.
Keep in touch.

  Beautiful image, Kirk! I'm going through all the submits on the Phellos pages and am working my way up to the current ones. I hope you have this framed and hung up in your home!

  Kirk -- I was the guy standing next you!(LOL) I have virtually an identical photo from 3/14/2010, but taken at the El Capitan picnic site. I'll have to go back and try my hand at B&W on this one.

Great job.
