A second take on my previous shot [link]

This one was processed as an HDR image in Photomatix with additional edits done in photoshop. The sun is now shining on significantly more of El Capitan by this point as this was taken about 18 minutes later. Tried a slightly different composition for this one, with the plants shifted to the left. Interestingly, there is significantly more visible on the bottom of the river on the right hand side.

Hope you enjoy!

This one is better in my opinion. The plants are lusher, the water composition is more interesting, and the light highlights El Cap nicely; very pretty shot.

Thanks so much!

Yea I was debating between the two. I am always worried about overdoing the HDR effect though. This scene practically called for HDR though since it was so difficult to capture.
