Hi Emily, Thank you! I’m so glad you’ve just been to Yosemite, one of my favorite National Parks. Magical, isn’t it? I hope you had a wonderful trip and I appreciate your visit here. ๐
Hi YC, I’m happy you like this one– thank you. I thought the path leading to the hikers in the morning sun made a compelling composition and well, El Capitan helped :). It was a beautiful moment. I really appreciate your comment.
Very nice and the starburst adds a special feel as they set off for a day of hiking. Reminds me of my one time to California which included a short stay at Yosemite. If I ever set foot in a metal tube at 35,000 feet once more it will be to visit there again.
Thanks, Paula. Me, too, and I managed to get my aperture right to get it. I’m so glad you enjoyed this image…it was a memorable nature-filled morning. ๐
I think monochrome works so much better than color would, for this image, because it does a much better job at silhouetting the hikers on the trail – I spot them better and they make more of an impression upon me.
Hi Rebecca, Thank you so much for your terrific comment. It means a lot coming from your experienced eye.
Monochrome does make us see better in many ways, doesn’t it? I’m pleased you enjoyed this memorable Yosemite moment. ๐
I have many standards as to what, for me, makes an evocative photograph. One of them is to evoke a feeling in me of wanting to be there. I want to be there.
Absolutely lovely photo! Was just in Yosemite and loved every moment of my backpacking trip.
