Judy, I agree with you. In my humble opinion, the larger photos are 1,000% better.

The small image is nice but a lot of the detail is lost.

Russ, those are some beautiful photos of Yosemite! I would love to visit there some day, along with some of the other great National Parks in the US. I agree with the other suggestion about creating a Yosemite Photo Book. It would make a great coffee table book at one of the larger sizes. I now have 2 "Eye on Korea" photo books at the 12" x 12" size in my home and they become the center of attraction to anyone visiting my apartment.

Joe, thanks for the kind words. I also have a 12x12 book that I made with surfing pictures. I'm going over all my Yosemite pictures (over 2,000) and picking out the ones to use for my book.

Here's another picture I took from the valley floor. Every direction you look is asking to be photographed.

[quote="Russinator"]I love Yosemite Valley; however, so do the millions of people who visit the park. The high county is also very beautiful and not nearly as crowded. This is a photo of Lake Tenaya which is one of the lakes in Yosemite's high country.

Russ, this one really draws me in. Beautiful capture.

Carol, thanks for the kind words about my lake photo. Every time I go to Yosemite I have to stop and a few hours at the lake. They say it's open to swimming; however, it's way to cold for that - nothing but melted snow.

Just another photo I took in the valley. BTW that's our daughter and her family.

It's me and my DW.

To see a larger/better photo open the link below, come to think of it, maybe seeing a larger photo of me is not a great idea.

Don't be so critical of yourself. LOL It's a great picture.

Russ, that's such a nice photo of you and your DW, with the waterfall in the background.
