The Half Dome, Above Yosemite Valley

This is a similar photo to another one I put up a couple of days ago

(http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2660402). Curious which

one you like best? Any? :) Thanks for the feedback/critique.

I dont know for the other one, but I like this one very much. great balance of light and contrast in b&W. only IMHO I would crop more of the left part til the mountains in the back, you have a line in the upper left, I would make a more greater impact by crop it and yes I really can feel the Vertigo. Superb! Love the power of the sea!!!!

Thank you

Biliana

Wonderful image that shows the scope and majesty of this area. I do have one small complaint and that is that the image is tilted to the left. And I can't help but comment on Biliana's comment about the power of the sea. The clouds are very suggestive of the ocean.

Pete: I see your point about the tilt. Interesting, I haven't noticed it before and could have sworn the shot was straight :)

 

Biliana: not sure if you meantioned sea as an alegory. Yes, indeed, the Yosemite valley hundreds of meters below does look like one.

Palpable feel of vertigo there! Excellent capture.

I like this vertical framing over the other, horizontal, shot. The only problem which I have is in the pose of this guy, which is taking a piucture while being awkwardly bent somehow... it would have been possibly more interesting if he was to stand in front of the magnificence of the place, so to say...

 

Cheers,

I like this one. Best shot I have seen from there. I ususally shoot from about 5000 feet lower.

Impressive background

very cool !! kind of adventurous image...

wonderful catch ...............i think the shot with out him wouldn't be as intresting as it is now cuase he realy ads to the shot by showing the scale of the place...great
