Exceptional visual impact, Pat.

The setting sun behind the evergreens generates subtle to extreme contrast - I like that in a winter landscape.

Soft highlights & faint shadows add a dramatic touch. Pin sharp focusing over a broad landscape.

Good perspective and a long depth of field gives this take some fine story telling ability.

Another Alaskan landscape gem ... Bob

Oh my goodness! If I had ten stars you would have all of them! What a fabulous capture of a serene Winter scene! From the sunlit sky to the reflection in the chilly water, the snowy trees have made an appearance along the rocky banks. This is an image I would love to attempt to paint!
Perfect exposure, balance and intrigue!
So beautiful, Pat.

This is so well done, the water is perfectly still giving a beautiful reflection, the sky is great with clear blue on half of it and some swirling clouds on the other half. Good enough to put on a post card, very well done.

What a beautiful day to capture a moment like this, Pat! Love the POV, the white covered trees, clouds and blue sky. Love that in one place the clouds took on a golden glow. Great focus and lighting make this scenic beauty shine! Wish I had a six for you Pat! :o) Nancy

The reflections in this river are great and your composition here is amazing - well done. Was it actually snowing when you took it as the snow on the trees appears to be moving almost? I also love the way that the river leads your eye through the picture.
