This concludes the pictures from my trip to Mt. Whitney. I took your suggestions, mainly to work on illuminating the foreground trees. Turned otu to be really easy with just a fill light adjustment and a slight increase to exposure. Couldn't push it too far though without things looking out of whack. PJ, I didn't have time to experiment with HDR but it is still on my todo list. Also cropped it a bit to get the peak in the upper left third and Yosemite valley descending to the lower right third. Lines, Patti... :) If you have extra time, download the 3000 pixel version and peruse the details of the granite face of Clouds Rest. There is a straightforward trail to the summit from behind the mountain, but don't you think it'd be a bit more exciting to climb it from this side?
