Gate to Yosemite Valley 04- Please view lagrer

The composition here is terrific Hanh, and from what I can tell, the light looks fantastic as well.  There are some pretty serious problems with the processing.  The two that are of most concern are the blown out sky, and the heavy blue cast in the water and the upper left and mountain shadows.  If you have the original still, and better yet, have some other shots of the same sequence with some detail in the white portions of the sky, you might try going back and addressing some of these issues.  The image definitely looks like it is worth the effort.  You could try some type of blend for detail in the sky, and try and correct the color cast.  I'd love to see this image with some of these suggestions applied.   Chip

Hanh,

I agree with everything Chip recommended. Also, I think the image looks a bit over saturated as well.  On the flip side, your composition is terrific and original. The blown highlights in the sky is certainly the biggest issue here. You might also want to try opening up the shadows a bit on the left side on the image. It is pretty dark over there. I hope this helps.

Chip and Michael said it well.  The composition is wonderful, but the processing has missed the mark.  It's best if beauty can be invited through the door, and sometimes it has to be nudged or coaxed, but never forcibly pushed.  I think with the right processing, this will be a great photo -- all of the elements are there.
