Very nice Bryan, great tones and composition!
That came out superb, Bryan.
Thanks John and Les!
Randy, you are right. This was my second trip. Definitely lots of opportunity here - perhaps later in the day for instance. The light here in the morning is very interesting. However I wouldn't want to go on a weekend afternoon - when I hiked out, about 11am, the parking lot was slammed full with people jockeying around trying to fit in various places and get on the trail. Probably 4-5 dozen folks passed us on the trail hiking in. We were mostly alone at 7am, with one group of folks arriving a bit after us at the falls.

I had an absolute bitch of a time getting this composition. A little further to my right would have been better but the Merced was well over my head at that point and I struggled to keep the camera and tripod propped-up on the boulders along the shoreline and out of the water. Carleton Watkins had an easier time of it but that viewpoint is no longer available: https://www.denverartmuseum.org/en/object/1991.389 Taken with the 150mm Apo Sironar.

Nice shot. Glad you didn't drown. Looks like Watkins had an easier time of it. Sometimes you just have to be lucky.

Very nice job.
However overall I doubt Watkins had an easier time of it - considering the stuff he was working with and hauling around. :)
