A wonderful atmospheric capture of a beautiful scene after sunset. Such intense rich colours in the sky and reflected on the river. Composition is wonderful! Another magical autumn view in the evening of your magnificent country Pat!

Cool capture. The angle of the shot of this glowing terrain is great. The capture of the light is great. The clarity is great. The image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall.

I have just moved and now have an open back and am amazed at the sunsets and 'afterglows' which I had never noticed in the narrow streets, or is it that this year we have more brilliant sunsets than normal? I don't know. This is absolutely beautiful.

    Thank you so much for your review! We have more brilliant sunsets now because our daylight hours are shorter.

This is a beautiful capture of this scene and when it is evening or darker. Love the bright peachy oranges in the sky, the rock pinnacle, the foliage, and the road with the light shining: the whole afterglow.

Pat, once again I am so envious of such shots that you give us.

the landscapes there in Alaska are truly amazing and you are a master at capturing and showing us all the beauty that Alaska brings.

Just sheer perfection my friend!

This view is mesmerizing. The golden reflections are fascinating. The sky colors are superb. Your photo has impressive depth and is perfect focused and exposed. I enjoy the beauty of light and color and the refinement of detail. The contradiction of the dark landscape with the colors of the sky and the reflections is enthralling. I like how the river lead the eyes of the viewers into the background. The landscape is excellent composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

Comment from Jewell McChesney


This afterglow of sunset over the Matanuska River is a treat for the eyes. You've captured a certain ambience that would not be seen at just any time. It tells a story of the importance of solitude and believing for the best as we wait. What time of day was this?
I enjoy seeing the golden wildflowers and what appear to be bushes throughout the scene. I would call this one, Harmony. It stirs poetry in me. If that happens, it's good stuff right there. ;)

    Would you mind if I attempt to paint this? I don't do realism but this would be an awesome reference photo!
