This photograph was made while in Tuolumne Meadows with Michael Gordon. We were both enamored by the ice patterns in this tarn and the gentle evening light.

That's crazy to see all that snow on the ground still. Tuolumne Meadows is incredible. The highlights look unusually subdued in the water for some reason. Maybe it's necessary though to prevent blowout. Nice shape in the water, I wish the trees on the left weren't so distracting as I think the stream and mountain are the strongest parts of the image.

I like this, Preston. I think you have another photograph there if you crop the image down to the far bank and just have water, ice and reflections as the image.

Hi Preston: I love the scene although your scan seems to be letting the image down.
