Bridalveil From Valley View

[Kyle Jones]

I spent a few hours at Valley View when I was in Yosemite a few weeks ago watching the light. The color along the shoreline was nice and the extra water in the river broke up the reflections a little more than I'd hoped. I decided the best light was before the shoreline moved into shadow, when everything was most colorful.

Any thoughts are welcome.

Absolutely gorgeous Kyle. The rippled reflections work really good here, just enough clouds to keep it from being bald, but this would have worked even with bald skys..

Your timing was perfect for the shoreline color show and the foreground shadows on the water help to keep me focused on the scene above. Nice one.

Beautiful image—as usual!

I am thinking I like this kind of abstract reflection more then a perfectly mirrored reflection. You sure got some nice color down there.

Excellent light, color, clouds, and reflection. I just wish there was a tad more sky above the peak on the right.
