This photo was taken from the Pohono Bridge in the early evening. It shows a blooming dogwood tree out over the Merced River. The sunset refection in the water is coming from the valley walls above Bridalveil Falls as they reflect the orange light from the sunset. FYI, it is not an HDR image.
This is just one of many photos I took there over two nights. I am still at work on other images from there which may show up here in the future. This location is no longer a secret as there were 10 photographers there this one evening, all crammed into a small space to get right angle for this photo. And, of course, the dogwoods have a very short blooming season in the valley, so you only have a few nights to get this shot. Not only that, the reflected light on the water lasts for only about 15 minutes.
This image was photographed on the first night I was there. I say that as the photos from following evening show an even higher flowing river. The few rocks you see at the bottom of the photo were underwater on the second night. Makes me wonder how high the river is today.
