Nice shot, like the colours and the drama in the sky. I also like that as a HDR it doesn't look overdone, good job

I've been there many times and I think it's one of the most spectacular lookouts I have ever seen. However, that red on top of Half Dome and the ridge behind it is too much for my taste. The top half of Half Dome also looks like it has a reddish hue. It looks too unnatural to me. I have never seen colors like those when viewing it in person.

I also like the drama in the sky, though. I think that if you cropped out some of the "plain" part of the sky at the top, it would emphasize the drama more.

Beautiful shot! I agree with Krusty on the part about cropping the top off, might add to the overall drama. Otherwise I think its perfect as is. TFS.
