Yosemite in late March

This image is from a few years ago, want to see if it is worth working on and perhaps a print?



20D + 17-40 31mm f/8 ISO 100.

Hi Arash, I took the liberty to change a few things. First off I felt the image was a bit flat. I did a small S/H adj, Contrast adj and lightened the image a bit. Added some warmth using the Nik Bril and warmth plug in.(i'm sure there are other ways to do this but this was my approach)
I also didn't like the tree merging with the waterfall so I cloned out the merging areas.

This must be one of the most frequently photographed landscapes in America, and I always enjoy seeing new perspectives.
I think this would make a fine print. I'm especially impressed with the sharpness of detail you achieved. Very nice job.

Never one to think that "the way it was" should dictate "the way it must be," I tried bringing out the contrasts and
colors a bit more -- as if there were a bit more sunlight making its way through the clouds.

Thanks David, you made it look very dramatic!

David's repost really makes it sparkle. Very nicely done. The tree in front of the water fall, for me, takes away from a really nice image. Dave
