First Place

Valley View – Larry Pollock

Larry writes about his image: It took a bit of patience to wait for the sun to move far enough west to finally light Bridal Veil Falls. As it did, the moon started to rise. Valley View is a parking lot at the west end of Yosemite Valley. Shot in February 2022, this is a Focus Stack of 3 images to ensure a sharp focus from the front of the scene to the back. 1/75 sec, ISO 160, f/18, 16mm. Fuji X-T4 on a tripod.
