A very good looking image posted here! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of the beautiful scene before you. Colours, textures and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well taken!

this one is divine in this yellow energetic heavenly form as this creates an enlightened picture and the reflection makes it even stronger

Winters a great time of years. Snow covered mountains with trees and streams frozen to ice making all things possible to have fun while out doors.

Pat ... I used to take the senior students from the local High School Photography Club on what I called photo safaris. After a safaris when all the shots were processed the students chose one keeper from the lot and it was framed and hung in the hall outside the Photo Lab.
What has that got to do with this shot? Only this, 'Winter On The Kenai' is a master class in white balance control. The only spot in the frame where sunlight makes direct landfall is on an obscure tree - extreme right. I would expect to see nothing but glare from the reflected light - on the contrary I see light reflected off of individually defined branches. In this light a large white mass such as the one in this foreground can easily be captured as an off white low contrast, low detail mass. Not here, for there are varying levels of contrast and detail that give this shot its depth and dimension.
I can go on about all the other superb aspects of this remarkable shot, but they are obvious and speak for themselves.
Any group of my seniors would hands down vote this the keeper frame and hang 'Winter On The Kenai' in the Hall ... Bob P B-))

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Pat,
A beautiful finger tingling picture of the Kenai/Kahtnu river with the setting sun's golden disc glowing the white clouds fanning out as they flow over the mountain peaks, with a golden sunbeam radiating across the river's glistening surface with a think thin ice forming along the river banks. The scene framed by the snow capped mountains & trees along the river's banks & reflected on it's surface. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
