Illegally pulled over blocking half the road in Yosemite on a little less travelled road, but had to get this picture. Wish there was room to frame this better but if I moved in any direction I'd probably be off a cliff, into a cliff or in the middle of a traffic. Patiently took out my tripod switched lenses to my 70-200mm with 1.4x extender.
Increased saturation until my blues and reds came out a bit more. Saved for web.

Way to go Frederick!! Your personal best at DPC. I agree that when in Yosemite, you sometimes just have to find a way to get the shot. It was a close race between your entry and mine. You have a capture that should be at the top. Congratulations!!
Fabulous shot. I love how clean the silhouette is and the moon really is a great touch. The composition is also nice as are the great colours. Well done and good luck 8/10
This is one of my favourites. Just the tree alone would have been wonderful but you have the added bonus of the moon. It has a ghostly yet calm feel about it. The dead tree was a much better choice than a live one.
