Valley View Sunset

[Kyle Jones]

I had some nice light at Valley View (I think for my first time ever) on Friday night. Unfortunately the ducks insisted on wrecking the reflection soon after this when another cloud came into view and the colors in the sky got just a little better. Such is life.

Any thoughts are welcome.

Amazing colors.

This is so cool Kyle! Gates of the Valley is one of my favorite spots. I am surprised this was your first time getting good light, as I have gotten good light there so many times. But I am glad you got good light.

I actually want to see the one with the ducks now! A few of my favorite images from Yosemite have ducks in the foreground.

The ducks are there in this one on the rocks on the far shore. Another group of them landed just after this.

Beautiful light and reflections. Very nice capture.

Kyle, this is a lovely shot.

I have been to Yosemite NP numerous times, getting the view like this is not common IMO. Quite often there are clouds to the West or fog in the valley, you got a beautiful shot.
