Thank you Davo, I think a lot of people will. I was holding out for a while to give people time away from the other one so that this would look new and fresh. I think the lighting in this is just as outrageous as the other. Theres just more info to take in. I have photographed this spot on numerous occasions in all seasons . This has been my favorite.

Fine photo of a made to order morning.
photosbyflood replied
Thank You Lumen Lux. It truley was. I already new what I wanted to do before I got there and I new that the round rocks would look great with the snow on them but the sun on the cliffs was the clencher!

Good afternoon Estes. Thank you for the compliments I have always wanted to go to Yosemite during or right after a snow event. Its kind of sketchy driving on the icy roads but I went for it anyway. What a great experience. I will deffinately do it again.

dinghysailor1
wonderful light captured in a remarkable setting ! lovely work
:)
photosbyflood replied
Thank you dinghysailor1. It is such a wonderful setting and the solitude was incredibley quiet only broken by the occasional falling of snow from the branch of a tree or the loud thunder of ice breaking away from a waterfall cliff wall and crashing to the valley floor.

Good morning Raquel, thank you for the compliment.
philjimi
wow ! fab picture, love the light.
photosbyflood replied
Thank you Phil for the compliment! You have to be a little off to want to get up at 3:30 or 4 in the morning to go out and capture something like this. Here are the side benifits. No Traffic, No Tolls at the entrance to the Park. There is no one there that early. Best of all you get to quietly watch this kind of scene unfold! A lot of times there will be some other professional there and you get to share techniques and stories. Like the internet, being out there has introduced me to some very awsome people.
Chintsala
Perfect morning.

What memories this beautiful image brings back for me, my friend! When my children were little we camped at Yosemite 22 times (I counted!), most often in the winter. Thanks for this wonderful visit! – Pat

Thank you Jan! I never get tired of seeing images from this area either. It is such a magical place.
skyhorse
Beautiful !!!!!! Makes me want to book my tickets right now :)
photosbyflood replied
Every thing Is just right there right now. Was up there Friday the Dog Wood is still in bloom and the water falls are going full bore even the ones in upper Yosemite. Tioga pass is open and theres still lots of snow in the Toulomne Medows area.

Globalphotos
Beautiful light and comp, such a magical scene, always hard to leave Yosemite isn’t it ??
photosbyflood replied
Thank You very much Varinia. It is extremely hard to leave Yosemite and I always catch myself saying just one more hour! I cant tell you the late times I have come home from that place. I live about 9 hours away. Many times 1/2 way home I have had to pull over at a rest stop and go to sleep because I had to stay for one more sunset. i would love to have a house close by!
Joanne Bradley
This is absolutely gorgeous! Superb capture of light and composition!
photosbyflood replied

Thank You Whalegeek, I really enjoy telling people what inspired me to take an image and where i went to get it. I think maybe they will get the same inspiration and see what Ive seen!
John Pitman
Lovely composition with snow, water and light all being put together. Well taken. John
photosbyflood replied
Thank you very much John. This is one of those spots that I have studied well. It always has something new to offer!
Fremme
Ok, this blows me away, such a beautiful image, the lighting and the colors that reflect off the snow, the depth, the snow and the effect that it’s creating, just a stunning image, wow
photosbyflood replied
Thank you very much Fremme for the compliments! I went up on your bubble and saw some great work there! You have done some interesting travel and have some very nice images to show for it I especialy like the mid air ski shots great angle. I will come back and favor a few when I get more time, thanks.

Yosemite… America’s Jewel of National Parks.
I can feel the cold… Beautiful!
photosbyflood replied
Good Evening Chris! Thanks for the compliment. You ar right I have to agree with you on that!. I havent checked out Yellowstone yet, Some of the images I see from there are pretty awsome. I have a good time in Joshua Tree too. Yosemite really has a lot of things to do and see all year round.
Radek Hofman
Beautiful light, nice capture.
photosbyflood replied
Thank you very much Radek. I was so happy to get there when I did. They wouldnt let us go back out the same way so I must have just made it through and the timing for this was excellent.
James Coard
Boy would I love to be there! You have an awesome folio by the way – a joy to look at!
