One more image from my last trip to Yosemite NP... this one is the view of El Capitan from Cathedral beach across the Merced river. Morning sunlight brightens up El Capitan till about an hr after sunrise before the shadow starts to expand. I spent the morning walking on banks of the river trying to get the complete view of the monolith with its reflection and finally settled on this image for OOTB processing. I felt the shadow created an effect of an elephant head with its trunk... Do you see it that way?
For this image, my settings were 1/100 sec, f/11, Manual and ISO 1000. For processing, I used Topaz Simplify and various adjustment layers for selective colors, curves, saturation and levels. Hope you like it...
