Photographer's Note
I spent the first week of November 2011 in Yosemite Valley with my Dad searching for fall color. Many of the golden treasures we were searching for were past due. However, we were rewarded with about 4 inches of snow with the storm clearing out in the early morning hours. We hunted for reflections on the Merced river and came to this well known vantage point of the Three Brothers. Within 10 minutes this view had vanished with fog enveloping the scene.

Hello Mike - A breathtakingly beautiful photograph. You have captured an atmosphere of absolute tranquillity and perfection. The light is magical with the peaks warmly lit and in contrast to the cooler misty tree line. The lake with its almost mirror surface has provided you with a fine reflection and symmetrical composition. A real pleasure to see and enjoy. Best regards Rosemary

Hi Mike,
Fantastic image, the reflections could not be more perfect, the light, the vertical frame, everything. There is a wonderful sense of cold to this, I feel like I could just step in. Given the chance I would, its beautiful.

Hi Mike.
Yosemite is amazing year round, no doubt! Wish I had the chance to see more than just Tioga Pass when I was there although that was very nice as well. You were lucky with the conditions on this one, but when you're a good photographer you know how to make the very best out of it. This shows that you're a very good photographer. Outstanding.
Have a nice day,
Fredrik
