Yosemite in Spring

Well, I can't compete with all the great Bryce/Zion shots but thought I post some reworked shots my visit to Yosemite last year. Just trying out some B&W conversions. As always, comments welcomed.

Thanks Daniel.

I agree, #1 is killer. Print it big and put it on a wall!
The second one is good too but could do with a little more contrast, IMHO.

Thanks Ann. Now that you mention it I think I see what you mean about #2. Maybe not so much the overall contrast but just adding more dark tones so the highlights are not so predominant. I'll give it a try.

OK. Here's a reworked version of the 2nd one. What do you think?

Oops. Linked the wrong one. This should be it. The main difference is that I added a bit more contrast to El Capitan, opened the shadows around Bridalveil falls, and darkened the tree in the foreground.

I prefer the first version. On my monitor it looks as if there is even less contrast on the second.

Both shots are quite good.

Or maybe the last one just works better in color....
