A very inspiring view. :) Nicely sharp throughout, good range of tones with detail in both the forested shadows and bright clouds. My only nit is I'd like to see some of that sky cropped down, but that's a matter of personal taste. Well done. 8

Not my "photographic best", but my most famous. It made the TV ABC News here in Fresno, CA, and I was interviewed. I thought it would be used in court, but the District Attorney either wasn't aware of it, was never told of it, can't or won't prosecute. She would have if a citizen was launching those explosives at the airlines!

WOW nice composition. Great looking clouds. Only markdown is because the mountains appear oversharpened

Well, this is a classic Ansel scene, of course; you're standing in the man's footsteps :-) The light is less expressive than it might be, very flat along the left of the image, and this is hurting you, though of course I recognize you wouldn't have had the luxury of camping out there for days on end waiting for the perfect light and clouds. The rendering of tones is quite good, except the thickest clouds seem rather blown out. For me it's a little oversharpened, but this is SO dependent on differences in monitors that I disregard it. Nice homage to the master.

When you walk in the Masters foot steps how could you not get such a nice image.Next time maybe you could come up with something original in the styel of Ansel. I do like the image althought you can see the clouds are a planted image.
