fascinating to contrast and compare the two shots…personally though i think your shot is excellent (i would though like to see what it looks like in B&W).
I think you did the location credit, though, I’m sure you’d agree the location itself doesn’t need to much help coming out stunning.
I’d also like to see your own B&W version of this shot, don’t worry, nobody here will think worse of you, just your own High Contrast take on a classic.
As I stood at the Snake River Overlook and remember that picture, I wondered how long (hours/days?) Adams waited there to get thiat image and how many others he took that ended up in a drawer somewhere in his studio.
Fantastic work Jason, I too would like to see a black and white version of this just for fun. I hadn’t noticed until you said it but the trees have grown so much I love that. I doubt I’ll ever forget a fact like that until I die, I think its one of those things I’ll strive to notice from now on.
wow, what a scene! I like this kind of landscapes so much more than the favorized ‘mediterranian-caribian’ type. The colors are just as saturated as it is needed and the composition is perfect.
The thing that’s always bothered me about Adams’ shot is that the horizon is slightly off-kilter. However, his shot remains very emotional, with the dark clouds and peak of light in the distance.
I like this version more so than the B/W. Seems to have more ‘impact’.
Interesting, how the road, literally cuts this image in half.
Exposure is perfect.
I love your site. Good luck in the Photoblog Awards, you do deserve to win, for what my 2 cents is worth..Fran
