Photographer's Note
Merced River goes through Yosemite Valley as shown in this picture, one of my previous post. In some sections, the river runs fast. In some sections, it drifts slowly. This picture was taken facing east. The vertical rock in front of us is Cathedral Rocks.
About the picture:
Original; sligthly saturated; slightly sharpened after reduce the size.

Burrrrrr I remember wading in it and how very cold it was, even in august. The colors are very pretty. The trees in the forefront gives the idea that I am hiding behind the tree peeking at the river.
Great framing and I love the way the rocks on the right seem to protect the river.

Fabulous scenery, Wes, I'd love to be there myself. I like the way the river is framed with the rocks leaning in from one side and the trees leaning in from the other. There's a few artifacts in the sky around the tree but I guess that's just the compression to post to the web.

A nice landscape picture of this world famous national park. This is also a very good example of a V valley. Good composition and good exposure.

Hi Wes,
Another superb shot. Fantastic colours and clarity. The silhouette branch in the foreground did wonders in this composition, breaking the space beautifully. Congratulations!! All the best and a great weekend.

Dear Wes, I like the combination of water, green vegetation and mountains, the three elements as basis for a very beautiful picture, also the depth and colours are so usual.
Well seen!
John.

Hi Mr. Wes! Another excellent shot from you. But this kind of shot is exactly what graduated neutral density filters were made for. You'd get a darker sky and rocks in the distance with the foreground remaining the same. But you did an admirable job with less than perfect lighting conditions. All of the highlight detail is retained too. Nice shooting my D70 buddy!

Great one, Wes, it's a beautiful place. I'd like to be up to my hips in that water with a fly rod. Great DOF. It's like a postcard.
Best,
Matt

Very nice add for your series, Wes, actually one of my personal favorites in it so far. Good use of natural framing, and a very refreshing-looking rendition of the colors and natural textures. Nice work. I remember pitching my tent on the Wawona campground just around 50 feet away from the south fork of the Merced River (having the constant sound of it in the background was wonderful).

Fantastic nature! It is really something else than the Dutch polders I'm used to! ;-)
Very well done! :-D

Hi Wes,
I like your point of view here, overlooking this beautiful river and the scenery around it is very joyful. I can see some reflections in the water, but I bet under better less harsh lighting condition the river would look even prettier.
anyways, good work Wes!

A stunning landscape, of a stunning place. Ansell Adams Territory, I believe? Good color, sharpness, & depth, with attractive subtle, reflections in the river. Well done!

Hello, Wes!
This must be a beautiful area to visit and take some photos! I like the composition with branches of the tree, looks like it was taken from a boat onthe water. Good job!

Hi Wes, nice view that you are offering although I would have prefer not to have the tree on the left and to see the ones on the other side of the river. But the right side is very plesant, overall very good, thanks for sharing.
