Campfire in Yosemite

Nice scene Alec. Imho it would be even better if you were a little bit closer.

Lovely smoke stream that provided a story in the image.

Did you change the color of the smoke stream in the foreground versus the the one in the background? Just a small distraction but I guess it's OK.

Sircar, Peter thanks for your comments.

Arthur, no the smoke was as it is. I guess the rays of the foreground could be due to the darker shadow from the background trees. The other smoke coming from behind the tent (background) may have different fire strength thus showing thicker smoke. Strange phenomenon isn't it?

Alec, great picture.

I can see all see would like is someone to play with and most of all someone to cook the tea.

Very good lighting and feel to the shot.

I'll be there in a couple of weeks, a photographer 's dream come true.

Finally a view of Yosemite down to earth, cozy and familiar.

On aestheticm I like very much the angle of the light and the overall sharpness.

I'll post my version in a month!
