I think you did a very good job of getting some shots that are more unique than most. These are very nice and a good reminder of pleasant days spent there.

Excellent shots! Reminds me of my last trip there - May 2012. They had just opened the Tioga Pass to Tuolumne Meadows and the water was abundant everywhere. At Yosemite, going early in the season, when the water is abundant, is far better than going late in the season, because you run the risk of seeing all the waterfalls running at a trickle, or, worse, not at all. Loved your photos - thanks for sharing.

I think you did quite well. Great set of pictures. Even though it has been photograph many, many times over, it always looks different at different times of the day and season. Never get tired of seeing pictures of our National Parks.

I'm glad you got to one of the greatest places on earth. You did a great job to get the feeling of Yosemite. You will never forget it, and you have fantastic pictures to "reload" your memory, and share them with your friends and family.
Great job.

This is a really nice series. And the benefit of the high water are: Fewer tourists, better waterfalls flow and a forced new perspective yielding these nice shots.
Yosemite has been so intensely photographed (at least 15% of it) that being forced to move from the ideal viewpoint to "see it differently." I'm glad you got up to Sentinel, it is a great spot and because it is a little walk, it removes 90% of the visitors and probably 75% or the photographers, too.
I'm glad you enjoyed this absolute treasure and got some good weather in too.

They make you feel like you're there; captivating images. Will be going there myself soon. What lenses did you use for these? Any other suggestions welcomed. THANKS! Lou

When visiting a place like Yosemite, it is difficult to transcend post card shots, but you did. Nice job and thanks for sharing.
Thanks all for the nice comments. I do sometimes wonder if I am "seeing" a place well and finding good compositons.
