Yeah I know what you mean, that's kinda what I was feeling. I think whenever the closest object to the camera isn't in focus you've always got to really justify it compositionally. As my attention was drawn to the centre rock primarily I wouldn't have even thought of letting it go out of focus.
I do have a second version of this stopped down a lot, but the foreground rocks are sharper but nowhere near looking in focus, so it looks just like they're out of focus accidentally rather than deliberately, so it ends up looking worse.
I will have to get up there this summer and have another attempt at it, it's only a certain time of year that the centre rock is struck by the setting sun. Might actually be better trying it with a smaller format camera, for greater DoF with a shorter lens - might even work better as an iPhone shot!

Spectacular as all your forest scenes, Mat. Very nicely done.

Hi there,
Sharing our first picture from our recent trip to Yosemite. Though not the most dramatic conditions, it is always with great pleasure that we stop and stare at this landscape, most of the time for hours.
We had the pleasure to meet with Mr and Ms Jim Becia this evening. Not so common to see 2 Ebony cameras side to side. 1 small (mine), one big (his). Can't wait to see what he saw this very evening
