[Leica] IMG: Yosemite and Sam

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

Thanks Ric.
I agree about the shadows, but as I won't be printing, I probably won't work 
on it more...
One thing I forgot to mention about both BW photos; they were both multiple 
exposures of 4. I think this worked especially well on the second image of 
the fall's closeup...
Thanks for looking and commenting, Ric,
Bob

these are beautiful, especially the 2 B&W

glacier point's shadows were a bit too open for me
