Info Cliche picture and viewpoint, but I think my light was better than most of the other pictures from tunnel view. Also, the clouds around El Capitan are quite nice, even so Half Dome is unfortunately not visible.

* Support excellent autumnal mood! I prefer the alt --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:36, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't know if we have an existing FP of this tourist viewpoint. I see User:Diliff has uploaded five photos of this scene in various light: File:Tunnel View, Yosemite Valley, Yosemite NP - Diliff.jpg, for example. I think the angle of the light highlights the rocks better in Diliff's and the trees are better lit. It is also sharper. However the autumn colours are nice here, though most of the trees are in shadow, which is a shame as they might be amazing if sunlit. -- Colin (talk) 08:54, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Sunlit may be problematic in autumn as the valleys orientation is west-east, it may be possible in summer when the sun is higher to clear the mountain - different colors however. Before I took this picture the sun was shining through clouds and only came low enough & western enough to cast the ray of light on the very left side of the valley. I uploaded an alternative version which I took a bit earlier - that one does not have the ray of light and hence had a lower dynamic range resulting in a brighter view on the trees. --C-M (talk) 19:40, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support I'm enjoying the trees more in this one. A spot of sunlight (as in the first) can be great, but I think it has to light up the subject, rather just an arbitrary patch of hill off to the left. -- Colin (talk) 08:25, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support much better --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 10:46, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral This is a nice image, of course but nowadays it's a too common scene, we've seen this view too many times. And when I think that the image is taken from here, all the magic is gone. The picture looks a bit oversharpened, BTW. --Basotxerri (talk) 09:47, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
