Indian Marsh
by Todd Liotine
Left with clear blue skys on my recent Yosemite trip, I decided to make the best of the conditions. I ran across this marsh that someone told me later was Indian marsh? This is actually the first time i'd seen water in this area, let alone enough to creat a huge reflection. I photographed this In the late morning and is a departure from the super colorful skys we often see on this site. As always interested in your thoughts and suggestions. Check the large version if you have a big monitor, the detail is awesome with the D800.

Great reflectionscape and I agree with Dean in that you did a good job balancing the scene out with the trees and Cathedral Rock.
A couple minor suggestions. There are a few very small sensor spots in the sky you might want to clone out if you're going to print this. The other suggestion is to selectively desaturate the green that is just left of dead center. The greens throughout and color/sat in general look really good, except for the greens to the left of the dark pine. They're a bit of an eye magnet for me. Otherwise, nice job with this. A keeper for your Yosemite files.
