Classic framing, eirie surface cloud. This shot would have been even more spectacular if you had gotten up an hour earlier. The blown out sky would have been toned down, and the subdued colors of the forest would have been drawn out. A neutral density filter would help this, but I don't know if it would have been as good as being there before sunrise. Taken at face value, however, this shot is intrigueing. I like that line of light cutting across the middle. Difficult contrasts.

Thanks for the "cowboy" support reference!!!
Agree with all of you on all counts about the lighting situation in this shot.
Really needs to be tweeked a bit in photoshop I suppose. Better try and get to Yosemite before they close it to all car traffic altogether. Heard this is comming within the next few years. Will have to do the "tram" thing then, which will really hurt all us "photog's" who like to do the STOP,SHOOT AND DASH...routine on the loop. Thanks Again.
"Cowboy up" to all....

I really like the fact that the sky is blown out, el cap. is a bit over exposed and the blue shifts, I think anyway, combine to make a cool kind of surreal image of a well photographed spot. I might crank up the saturation, and enhance the blue cast further myself, but that's getting into personal choice.

Laurie - very nice. Unfortunately, the range of light is too wide for the film to hold detail. This is a classic image that could use a neutral gradient filter. You can orient it along the strong diagonal line and it will hold back the highlights to something the film can cope with. I miss Yosemite, I've not been there in too many years. Keep shooting, the cowboys are cheering for you.
