Moonrise Yosemite Valley

The moon rising added to this wintery scene

wonderful!

Excellent! Great colours, and composition. Like that misty ground, and that sunny cliff. Wonderful! Best regards, Torfinn.

Ansel Adams would be jealous for this imaging of his favourite shooting place.

just great

Ron, you get the big ones for this beauty! Couldn't be better. A treat to look at. Superb image, and very well done! Wish me luck, I'm off to Montana for a week tomorrow a.m. Cheers! Chris

Beautiful. Great tonality and contrast. Wonderful layers blending together perfectly and suddenly exploding in bright gold mountain. Congrats.

absolutely incredible, beautiful landscape without any hint of the kitsch one sees here so often! Congratulations, Lennart

absolutely nice

After a long long time I am finding one picture that is worth 1000 words...!! Perfect in every sense. Exposure is just amazing!!! regards, Rajeev 7/7.

Beautiful stuff Ronald.

The mood you presented here is unbelievable.

I have an impression your photo is slightly tilted to the left, but maybe it's just an illusion. Anyway - great photo. Cheers, Piotr

absolutely wonderful !!!!!!

Masterpiece.

Yosemite is a favorite destination for many landscape photographers, myself included. The crowds in summer, however, can deter me from going. This shot was at a lull in visitation... after Thanksgiving and before Christmas. The fresh snow and a near full moon were too much to resist the three hour drive. The day before a full moon is always best for landscapes {there is still enough ambient light to record a scene and include the moon} . This scene was fraught with exposure problems as one might guess. Graduated neautral density filters make many things possible and helped record one of my favorite memories of Yosemite. Thanx again for kind words. Ron

Excellent lighting.!

Great photography.Congratulations.

This is probably the finest landscape I've seen on PN in at least five years. What makes it for me is the snowy ground-level mist and the pink clouds above the red rock. IMHO the moon does not add anything - if it were me I would have PS'd it out. But many congratulations on this capture, it is superb.

Absolutely beautiful! amazing shot!

Great image !! Beautiful place. Excellent work. Congrats.
