Three Brothers Reflect In Merced River

The "Three Brothers" are an iconic mountain-scape, in Yosemite Nations Park. Here, they are reflecting in the Merced River that run through the valley.

 

I've shared the color version of this previously, but I love the way that I can emphasize the clouds and reflection more by converting to B&W. I use Nik Silver Efex, which is a software that's been around for decades, but is now part of DxO's PhotoLab as an add-on. Yes, I had the great Ansel Adams in mind as I was making this conversion.

 

Here's a link to the color version. www.flickr.com/photos/dcstep/54331952238/in/album-7217772... I have another very similar image in my Flickr Yosemite Album. The cloud are slightly different in that image. I thought that this version would "pop" a little better.
