landscape Yosemite Valley with Half Dome from Olmsted Point

I like your idea of tightly cropping the objects at the edges, including the tree and framing the distant Half Dome, almost as if it is afterthought in the photograph. The diagonals of the crack in the rock and the shadow are related forms.

Something looks a bit soft about this. Did you apply some sort of post processing - either a blur or some noise reduction?

BTW, I'd change the title a bit. It seems more like "Half Dome from Olmsted Point" since the Valley isn't really visible here.

Take care,

Dan
