I never saw Ansel Adams divide a picture exactly in half with a reflection on the bottom half. I have seen it on DPC, though.

Very nice. I think you'll do well with this one. Beautiful composition, good tonal range, and definitely Adamsesque.

Same subject, gorgeous reflection! Perhaps it's my monitor, but the trees could be a little sharper. Even so, this should do VERY well.

Very nice shot, although perhaps doesn't have quite the tonal range that AA was recognized for.

Beautiful Yosemite shot. Perfect reflection. Is this Mirror Lake? It must be gorgeous there in the Winter, and not overrun with tourists.
