Wow Pat. This is outstanding. Looks more like painting than a photo. Definitely deserves the two honors it has acquired. Perfect composition, framing, focus and dof - wait I forgot, its a painting right ?;-) Thanks for sharing.

This is so beautiful, Pat. It deserves the All Time Best recognition. The covers are stunning. The river leading into the frame draws the eye throughout the scene. Well done!

What a really wonderful tone of hues of a dull pink is captured here. Its absolutely intreguing how your use of the light has been used to create this shot. I love the scenery construction, especially that winding stream.

Wow! I have never seen anything this beautiful! This is amazing! This looks like an oil painting on canvas!
I absolutely love this photograph and I do believe it would look even better with a slight brightness adjustment however, it's not necessary.

This is a wonderful surrealist photo! It looks like a story book picture or the opening shot of a movie! Beautifully captured lowlight with warm colors and excellent composition. Gorgeous photography!

This shot is spectacular! Theb red cast creates a special atmosphere. I would say, dramatic. The river, the mount, the skies- everything is unusual. I like that there's no unwanted details. It looks like a painting. Nicely done Pat!!!

What a beautiful click of afterglow!! You are extremely lucky to view such gorgeous landscapes in live!! The river is literally glistening in the deep crimson afterglow. It's a magnificent composition and it's a perfect example of dim light photography. Kudos

Wow you have such amazing scenery and the sunset afterglow is awesome. Love the glow of the water as it flows through the image. Lighting is great.

    Thank you so much Mary, this is really a nice scenic stretch of the highway north of where I live.
Comment from Laura Brown


Wow. I almost cant believe this is a photo and not a punting. It's insane that this setting really existed at one point in time and wasn't orchestrated or previously constructed to make it that gorgeous. amazing!
