Excellent capture-- but ah, what a bit of sharpening would have done for this image. I would have used something like USM 80%, 0.5 radius, 0 threshold.

Don't care for the yucca right in the middle of the frame. Would have tried to frame the background if possible. Otherwise nice, especially I like the sky.

To me, the background looks a little soft.

Having spent a little time reading up on Ansel and looking through his work I now appreciate the 'style' more than I did for my own entry! (so I screwed up a little!)

This entry however is very much along the right lines, excellent work.

To me it looks like a place with more photographic opportunities. The front is a bit distracting.

You found a great spot for this...and made the most of it. Great b/w tones IMO, with detail evident and nothing blown out. Good composition and interest to this viewer anyway. I'm not an Ansel expert, but I believe this is a great photo for the challenge and in its own right.

good DOF and a sky to die for in this challenge!

Good adams-like landscape shot selection and it has nice clouds in the sky. The image, however is very soft focused. Adams is known for his tack sharp images with very deep DOF.

Nearly really good, except it looks like it's focused on the plants in the foreground when the mountains would be a better subject to focus on.
