Yosemite: "Mount Gibbs and the Rock"

Hikin' Mike

[FONT=georgia,palatino]Another one of my favorite stops along Tioga Road. Conditions were not great as it was about 1PM, but you take what you can get. I like the juxtaposition with the peak and the rock.[/FONT]

Great composition, Mike. The colors seem a bit flat. Maybe some seletive warming on the mountain and foreground and saturate the sky a bit ?

I agree with Dan. A gradient filter would have been excellent here.

Great eye - I love the composition.

The composition is gorgeous and I agree that the juxtaposition is what makes this shot.

I agree with the 'flatness'. I added some warmness, cropped some of the top and re-processed my layer mask...

Actually I think a little contrast added to the top would be great (but it might be my monitor, I'm on my laptop not my desktop). Possibly some added to the bottom would be okay to .

Thanks. I'll stick with this one for now.
