G'day CARLA!I spotted this magnifcent landscape in the 'Competitors Edge' gallery and am still stunned by its rugged beauty.
Apart from a few Ansel Adams B&W photographs of this iconic geological feature my exposure to it has been minimal.
I feel you have caught the true essence of the peak's presence, isolation and structure here.
Your vantage point and framing have ensured we see a much more detailed view of the face than I have ever seen and your good depth and focus bring us interesting detail even under those harsh conditions.
I have read of Ansel and his companions exploits in reaching this peak and take my hat off to you for making this trip.
Iconic work.

Dear Dennis,I am inspired by your beautifully written interpretation of my image. I took many images in and around Yosemite National Park. Putting great emphasis and focus on composition, focus, detail and the feelings I wanted each image to convey. My efforts have been rewarded, Thank You!
You have an awesome day and visit again soon.
Happiness,
