A Personal Photo Assignment in Yosemite National Park

            While standing along the river bank of the Merced River in the Swinging Bridge Picnic area of Yosemite National Park with a view looking to the north. My thinking in composing this image was the capture a balanced view between the reflections on the still waters of the Merced River with that of the actual mountainside with its ridges, peaks, and dried up Yosemite Falls. I went ahead and used a portrait orientation to capture more of the setting with the reflection and mountainside. That would also bring more of a focus in the captured image.
