Very dark, eerie, moody, Hitchcock-like.

Sensational night, mono image. Well done indeed. An instant fave.

Quite marvellous, Varinia

Wow fantastic!!

Wow…..........

WILD! Such an intense capture. This one struck me right between the eyes. The moon is big and ominous. The shadows deep. This image cuts through so many other Yosemite Tunnel View images and shreds them apart, including mine, I hate to admit.

OH WOW!! This is sensation Gloabl – absolutely fantastic work! I’ve been fortunate enough to visit Yosemite on a couple of occassion after studying it at university – the whole place is just stunning and I will never get bored of taking or looking at photo’s from there – this has to be one of the best I’ve seen. Instant fav…

magical scene! the moonlight is wonderful

lovely shot indeed

wonderful shot!!

Ansel Adams lives…

Beautiful scene and capture. Just lovely.
