Spent a good part of day in Yosemite Valley. So many compositions to choose from and landed at this spot. A magnificent sunset illuminating El Capitan. Soft warm light reflecting off the waters in the valley.

Nice shot! ND filter? Looks like you were close to the ground. Was there a gentle breeze? This is a nice, soothing photo. Beautiful.
Hi David, thank you for looking at my images. In response to your queries; I was positioned about 4 ft from the ground, no ND filter / 15 sec. / f/13 / ISO 50 / 28mm / Sony A7III.
And it was a very calm, tranquil evening.
