Great views of old stomping grounds. I particularly like the first two, with Ritter and Banner showing prominently in the bg.
Brings back great memories!

I love the light in the clouds in the first image. Great shot.
I would be inclined to brush in just a little more contrast to the trees in the valley between the lake and the peaks. The light feels just a bit flat and doesn't quite leave the feel for the depth of the scene like the second image does for almost the same view.

In spite of the great cloud color in the first, the second is my fav and then the last. Great set.
Hey Tim, yeah I haven't been a big fan of the view from Shadow Lake itself. I do like these views. As has been mentioned the ground layer needs a separate contrast adjustment it feels flat. #2 is my favorite, that single tree and the better view of the lake is really sweet. The face of Banner in #3 is really nice with that light playing on the face.
You sure have me wanting to get up to the Ansel Adams Wilderness, which I was going to do until the wildflowers popped so early in Colorado. Now I have to see if maybe I go up there when I get back.

All are really nice but the second is my favorite. That tree makes a nice foreground leading into the lake, mountains (with nice light) and sky.

Beautiful set. Looks like a great area to explore.

Very nice. I agree with Alan & Jim on some added contrast in the first, and with Kyle on #2 being my fav. - it's like the tree is perched there to take in the view along with you.
