A great place to visit Lisa and a very nice composition with that lone tree.Shooting almost into the sun, as you did, caused a few problems. The image is a bit soft and the WB could use some tweaking. Would have been nice if you'd used some fill light for the tree.
Even so, a very nice image shot in not so ideal lighting conditions. #1543093

It is a well-composed picture, Lisa. I agree with Dale's comments. I'll look forward to seeing his suggestions. While that looks to like it was taken from Glacier Point, I can't quite place just where this is. #10832337

I love the composition on this! Perfect how the tree does not collide with the rocks. The sky really sets it apart. I don't mind the lighting issues mentioned, but I am sure the suggestions would improve it! #10833169Kalena Randall September 04, 2013 0
I like the comp on this. Lisa, but I wonder if it's possible to bring up the details a bit on the flat face of the rock.I agree that the WB needs a bit of tweaking as well. #10833224

Hi everyone, thanks for the comments.Dale Hardin September 05, 2013 0
I like your edit and hadn't expected the crop but it works out just fine. The WB helped and you are almost there.To take it to the new level, would suggest that when you change the WB, mask the sky. On the resulting image (your edited one) apply some high pass filtering to take away that dull edge, and reduce the highlights just a tad.
You sure have a knack for getting at the right spot for the right image. Excellent eye. #10833565

the change in the face of Half Dome, and detail in the tree(s) is a big improvement. #10833566Jeff E Jensen September 05, 2013 0
Yup, the edit is a nice improvement! #10833600Peter W. Marks September 05, 2013 0
At last an image of somewhere that I have actually been to albeit about 25-30 years ago. Thanks for sharing, Lisa. #10833894
