Another Upper Yosemite Falls w/repost
I spotted a flake leaning against the cliff that looked dry (well, relatively), so I scrambled up on top & huddled there, holding a chamois over the lens to try to keep it dry to try to capture the immensity of both the falls & the cliff. The planes and their contrails and/or chemtrails were definitely trying my patience!

c&c always welcome!

Ah, yes! The most desired and most elusive of all lens filters and/or PS "fixes" ... the Contrail Filter! And I predict that the person who invents it will be instantly elevated to minor sainthood by all serious landscape shooters everywhere.

Monika, I really like the subject matter, and B&W was definitely the way to go. However, I personally would crop this so that the image was half as wide as it is high. The far left and far right sides of the original image are, for me, more distracting than anything else.

Try this one out. 2:1 and 16:9 just weren't quite working for me. This is a 3:2. Or did I write all those backwards?
