Valley View Afternoon

[Kyle Jones]

Here's a recent shot of the Gates of the Valley reflecting in the low autumn waters of the Merced River. This was a little while before sunset.

Any thoughts are welcome.

Beautiful shot, and proves that you don't always need clouds. You worked the colors here perfectly.

Neat colors and reflections - one of those occasions where centering the shot makes perfect sense.

Very cool looking Kyle. I think you positioned yourself better then I did there for the reflections. I was trying to work the grasses more into my foregrounds.

I spent a bunch of time trying that too. I ended up liking this best.

Simply stunning. I am sure that you see hundreds of images from here but I don't and this is an almost perfect landscape shot.

Thanks a lot Ken. I've seen many shots from here and I've taken many shots from here. This is the first time I've gotten a good reflection and for me that makes all the difference.
