I took this early one morning before a bouldering session at Camp4

A really pretty, natural scene. Good that you kept the sky from going too high. I might increase sharpness just a tiny bit with unsharp mask.

 

As an interesting aside, I was just reading an article where the federal government is trying to get it so they can impose a fee (up to $500 a day) to photograph in National Parks (they will define what is 'commercial' and what is not. Probably if you are using a tripod, then you are a 'commercial' photogapher. For more info, see www.photopermit.org. (no, I'm not affiliated with the site).

can't go wrong here, don't you just love the mirror like water,

good shot.

Beautiful shot of a spectacular place. Wish to be there these days where flood threatens the Valley to catch such reflections as this one.

 

S, a coworker and I discussed this fee about two weeks ago. We emailed Lee Dickinson (?) and actually received a reply. I still have the email (at work) but I cannot remember its exact contents. However, Dickinson wrote that the fees are required if the photographer has a crew or uses props (I think) and not the typical photographer.

Great job!

Beautiful subject in gorgeous light. Just to be picky, you could clone out the weeds sticking out of the water, they look too much like specks of dirt.
