Late Afternoon Sunlight on the Face of El Capitan (Yosemite National Park)

            A view looking to the northeast while standing along the banks of the Merced River. For this image, I decided to zoom in as much as could to the rock-face or mountainside of El Capitan, including some nearby trees to kind of act as a frame or "a look beyond" to the mountains. I also wanted to include part of the Merced River as kind of felt like a leading line...or at least it does standing in that setting :-)
