Summer in Yosemite is always hazy and therefore harder to photograph.

Sometimes it can work in your favor at least I think this photograph

shows that.

It is rare that a black and white image evokes the feel and look of a painting, but this photograph does just that--and does it in spades!  Leo, this is really a superb piece of work, and really reminds me very much of the paintings of the artists of the mid-19th century Hudson River School.  The superb composition and exquisite details combine to really bring home the grandeur and mystique of Yosemite National Park.  Your post-processing and black and white conversion simply could not be better.  This is art, Amigo!  Bravo!  Cheers!  Chris

I think the haze works just fine here for layering distances, the composition and the conversion are wonderful. 

My only nits would be the slight counter-clockwise rotation (most noticeable on the far pines reflections) and the odd red cast to the sky at the top edge (maybe from burning?)  Both easy to fix.

The haze combined with the foreground sharpness is a delight to view, I can only echo the former comments.  This is one of the best B & W landscapes I have seen.

Sincere Compliments!

Leo, the reflection is perfect.  The image looks like an old time sepia.  Superb landscape photography.   Congratulations.  Larry
