In the midst of a storm from Tunnel View. Iconic location that never disappoints. Enjoy.

Very well done Youssef! Great job on the bw conversion. The tones from back to light grey work very well to create depth.

Sweet! The view is breathtaking and the atmospere produced with the fog is just superb, Youssef. My only nit is that I sure would have liked to see a large version.

Superb monochrome mountains landscape photo, excellent light, nice arrangement, very good viewpoint. The hazy-foggy atmosphere adds nice toning to the scene. Well done Youssef.

Great atmospherics in this Youssef and beautiful tones also. Beautifully crafted B&W scene. Great job on this.

Hi Youssef,

This is a classy b&w image of a timeless scene. Beautiful.

Ah, home, sweet home. I like this a lot, Youssef. I might be tempted to increase the mid tone contrast just a wee bit, and also consider cropping the pine on the left. You've definitely captured the magic of a Yosemite storm. Well done!

Just curious, but when was this taken?

Wonderful play of light and mist across the image, Youssef, and a fine gradation of tones. The choice of perspective makes this especially strong I feel.

Very nice B&W.
I would still be tempted to add a bot more contrast to the domes in the BG.

Really nice mood with the clouds and B&W. Being the blackest, the tree on the left edge is an immediate eye-grabber however.

what Doug said. Your presentation is very nice, and the atmosphere is terrific, but the lhs is just a bit too heavy.

Love the softness of the cloudy and misty conditions framed by the darker fg trees.

I would love to see a larger version here. Or, a large print in person would be even better.
The clouds make this one extraordinary.

Wonderful black and white, Youssef. I could see cropping out that tree sticking into the frame on the left, but that's minor.
