Made a dash for Yosemite Park last Friday after work and arrived just in time for this spectacle. Half Dome glowing in the last light of the setting sun. Taken from Olmsted Point.

A7, 100/2 ZE @ f/5.6; single exposure.
A great photograph is absorbed by the eyes and stored in the heart.

A really cool shot. Maybe just a tad on the dark side but dramatic regardless

Already don't like it anymore. Particularly the sky with its yellowish/greenish areas. But other parts don't look all that great either.

So I did a re-process from scratch. Will post as soon as it's legal. :D

I like it. I agree maybe a bit lighter but the rest looks good to me.

Amazing light! - it will be interesting to see what your re-post looks like as you're not happy with this one Jens. There's lots to like about this one.

The image as shown,has a lot to like and with a bit more post processing you would have a very nice presentation.

I like it Jens...but I agree on the weird sky coloring.
Looking forward to your rework.
