It's not easy to capture El Capitan in all its glory; it's that massive. This is as good as I can get.

It's hard catching one of the worlds largest granite monoliths! Can hear Andrew muttering as he typed his comment, "if you had an SLR you could get more", lol!

This is beautiful Marilyn! You are right about capturing El Captian. However, you did it.

loving 'framing' of this big beast by trees and foreground rock. And the lights throughout the leaves, etc, balance the heavy dark in the foreground. You really are moving from deep earthen darkness to bright light above---the light on the right is really consuming the image. A fine pov and dramatic set of contrasts; and with all that stuff in front of it, the grand peak still surges through it all to stand proudly and solidly above everything. More fine b&w work from you, and wonderful glimpse into the huge mass of these magnificent peaks...

Beautiful shot! like it very much!

What a monumental piece of enormousness! From this angle it resembles Devil's Tower: rather like it just got up and walked to another location so you could photograph it. I love the angle and you really do capture the essence of it, rather like an iceberg...there's so much more of it than you actually see but what you see is really compelling and appealing on so many levels. This just draws you right in and I love the way it's actually more of a background than the dead-on focus of the image. I like the boulders and the trees playing their role in this composition. Really well done, and I agree, there's a nice echo of Ansel Adams in this, kinda like he followed in your footsteps, going: Yeah, that's a nice shot! It's typical of me, but I'm actually really intrigued and drawn to the boulder shape in the foreground; it reminds me of the preliminary design mockup for El Capitan itself...rather like the little conceptual sculpture Nature used when brainstorming ideas.

I love this! The composition is terrific. (Chip's mind must be an amazing place, don't you think?)

This is a very good shot and all the more special in B&W. This prompt me to post a pic of Devils Tower.
