Am awe inspiring scene. My favourite bits are the tiny details visible at the top and three quarters of the way down the cliff. They only serve to emphasise the immensity of the rock.

WOW!
What a great photo Don. I thought I was looking at a work by Ansel Adams! I love the simplicity and the detail in the shadows, but what makes this for me are those wisps of clouds. Regards, Jeremy

thanks all for the comments
Vaggelis, we could in the spring when the snow starts to melt
Keith, anyone should go there at least once in their lifetime
Jeremy , the winter clouds do make a difference , it's the best season to shoot in Yosemite
Adrian, it's the largest monolith in the world ... cheers ;-))

A powerful scene. Well composed and converted.

Beside the ...
picture of this well known rock, I mostly like the clouds surrounding the rock and the toning of this image. Altogether it looks really nice.
Re largest rock in the world: on Wikipedia I found this:
El Capitan comes a little bit after this (I´m sure it was not an american who has written the article :-))
Best wishes,

This such a "simple" and yet effective picture. Even though Ansel Adams has probably not used sepia toning too often the mountain and the vintage treatment immediately remind me of him.

It certainly is an awesome sight. As Adrian observed, the tiny details really emphasise the sheer bulk of the rock. Beautiful work... And you may have opened Pandora's box of worms, with your claim about the world's largest monolith, and Horst's response...I think about the only certainty is that El Cap isn't. Some claim Mt Augustus is a monocline rather than a monolith, so who knows...??
