Of the three Yosemite images you've posted, this is probably my favourite

I would like to see this one in colour too. I find that the tonality of the tree is similar to the tonality of the cliffs, there is not much separation between these two critical elements. Otherwise, it is another fine image.

I like this one.

Would moving the camera so that the tree was left of the falls have made for a picture that tends to capture the eye? The direction of the falls here tends to take my attention out of the picture.

Very nice image with a dynamic sky. The leaning tree is interesting, the image seems tilted.

Nice job! I like it. Kind of mysterious.

It has a nice classic look to it.

I agree with two previous comments. There seems to be a barely perceptible lean to right, and if the tree trunk were one of those lighter dried out, almost bone-like ones, it would really set it off from the background scene (which is very attractive).

Is there any chance this was a color capture converted to monochrome, and that adjusting the RGB balance in the conversion would lighten the trunk? It looks like a tough outline to dodge without obvious transitions showing up.

Maybe relatively minor changes could take this one from very good to great!

Thanks everyone for your complement and positive criticism! When I have time, I will re-edit again. Pramote
