Standing on the Banks of the Merced River and Taking in an Amazing View of Mountain Peaks (Yosemite National Park)
With the black & white image I'd taken at this point, I wanted to focus more on the tonal contrast of this setting on the banks of the Merced River. With a color image though, I wanted to bring out more of the vibrant colors I saw that late afternoon. And with the colors, it wasn't just so much in the different shades of green in the nearby trees; it was also the different colors and textures in the mountainsides. Looking to the left part of the image, one can see El Capitan with its rock face and the structure and feel in the mountainside. Off to the image right is the roaring waters of Bridalveil Fall with the nearby towering peaks of Cathedral Rocks. The whole setting is of colors and textures...and sounds of nature!
