The image features the iconic Half Dome, a granite crest rising more than 4,737 feet above the valley floor, and is one of Yosemite's most recognizable landmarks. Watkins' photograph captures the grandeur and majesty of the Half Dome, emphasizing its sheer vertical face and the surrounding rugged terrain. The title "Tacoye" is believed to be derived from a Native American name for the Half Dome, reflecting Watkins' interest in the cultural as well as the natural history of the region.

Watkins' use of the mammoth plate camera, which utilized large glass plate negatives, allowed him to produce images with exceptional clarity and detail. This technical prowess is evident in Tacoye, The Half-dome, 5500 Feet, Yosemite, where the intricate textures of the rock formations and the play of light and shadow are meticulously rendered. The photograph not only serves as a testament to Watkins' skill as a photographer but also as an important historical document that offers insight into the early visual exploration of Yosemite.

Watkins' work, including this photograph, was instrumental in raising public awareness about the natural wonders of the American West. His images were widely exhibited and admired, influencing both the art world and the burgeoning conservation movement.
