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. #7407790

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.. #7407810

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. #7428722

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. #8726780
