Classic shot, Denise. I like the contrast between the bright mountain and the dark, cold-looking water. The moon adds a great touch, too. Nicely done!

That is a fantastic start in the New Year. Gorgeous colors. I would have loved to be there ...

Really beautiful scene - I love the glowing golden color of the rock, and the dark gold reflection in the water!

Beautiful shot - love that warm reflection in the cold-looking water. And yeah, I can picture carrying all that equipment..."just in case". :-D

Denise, Yosemite is such a beautiful place...and I really like your capture here. I especially like how the sun hits the rock facing..and the reflected color and light in the water. What a lovely ending to begin the New Year. Nice shot. MFC

Thanks JP and Bottles,
This is another image I have waited years for!!! It was fabulous to have the light just right on New Year's Day.
You should have seen me getting down to the river to shoot this. It was comical.
Ice, rocks & 20 degrees, carrying my tripod, camera and the wide angle converter...just in case.
