Gorgeous photo. Hope to see one for real some day. But for now, this picture will do nicely.

I wonder what this actually looks like. If you zoom in on the fire fall you see a lot of clipping. Someone had been playing with the Lightroom sliders.

Hoping to catch this in February. Hopefully there’s water. Fingers crossed.

Absolutely amazing. Where were you located and what equipment did you use?

I went in late September for the first time and it was breathtaking. El Capitan, Half Dome, and Nevada Fall were all well worth the trip on their own. I can't wait to get out there to backpack throughout Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada!

Back in the 1960s we went to Yosemite every year or two. The Rangers actually set up a huge bonfire at the top of the cliff and down in the valley we would attend a Ranger presentation around a campfire in the evening. Then, around 9pm, our speaker would turn to shout out toward the cliff, “let the fire fall” and up top they would push the entirety of the bonfire over the edge. An experience of a lifetime which I had the joy of witnessing many times. The visual of a true fire fall cascading thousands of feet down the cliff face is a gorgeous sight that few still alive have ever seen. I know they put an end to the practice sometime after we left California and was disappointed to learn that I could never share this spectacle with my new family the first time I returned in the 90s.

Nice shot but way too much editing. Can you please post the unedited original as well?

I'm working Black Friday retail and this was a nice little escape to look at while on lunch.

Yosemite? Nah that’s clearly the Dwarven lonely mountain, Erebor.

Beautiful, but if I'm being honest I think the part I like the most is how the clouds and the scattered trees make it look like the top of the mountain is being disintegrated and sucked upwards.

One of the most beautiful places in the USA.

This a fantastic photo. Great job.

It’s always amazing to me that people will take the time to go over a photo with a fine tooth comb to find something wrong with it and then take more time to complain about it. Great job guys, hope you feel better.
