Description: I was photographing in the late
afternoon in the meadows below Lower Yosemite Falls when I noticed the backlit leaves of
these trees. It is always difficult to get the detail in backlit leaves and the shadowed
tree trunks in the foreground to make this kind of image work. The opening made by the
foreground tree trunks leads the viewer into the image to the backlit trees beyond. The
tree trunk shadows falling on the grass in the foreground contribute to the sense of depth
in this image.
