This is a spectacular photo--it doesn't even look real. The glacier looks like it's wrapped in grey velvet, and the colors that 'sandwich' it is striking. Just an outstanding entry.

What a great shot of a glacier from and artistic point of view and also from a scientific point. Most of us flatlanders have never seen a glacier this close up with the amount of detail you have captured.

They are amazingly "craggy" and full of what appears to be earth material.

The color of the sky and reflections are amazing. The dark clouds add intrigue. Wonderful.

What a sunset photo. A winner. Isn't driving on the glacier dangerous? Is it pure ice or dose it have some gravel on it? Where does the road go? Is it just to the end of the glacier and turn back or does it lead to somewhere .

    Thanks so much! We didn?t drive into the glacier, we parked and walked to the edge of the lake. There is glacial silt mixed in with the ice, this glacier runs parallel to the highway, Beyond the glacier are mountains so the road in just lead to the glacier but we came out the same way we went in . Thank you for your interest and your awesome review! I am honored by your six star rating!

This is simply gorgeous Pat. What a beautiful way to wind up a day trip.

This shot has a great initial visual impact - Dramatic play of light on snow and ice.

A creative presentation from a fine application of the rule of thirds.

Your camera settings are well established and have produced a high resolution image of good contrast, color and tonal range.

Landscape photography doesn't get much better than this ... BOb

Sometimes nature is just magnificent, and this photo is telling all about it. The glacier on its own just looks great, but when set against a dramatic looking sunset sky, even more. I like the way the colors from the sky are reflected in the foreground ice.

The photo is of course also pin sharp and it is indeed clear and well defined details to be seen in every part of the glacier together with great textures. The exposure is perfect.

The format and framing is spot on, and it is a very fine flow and balance in the composition. I think this is a truly lovely and well taken photo Pat, and with an excellent DOF.

Amazing capture of a section in this amazing world we live in. For me everything here in your take is perfect. The scene alone is so beautiful, your aim is true as is your scene construction that enabled the golden pinks in the sky to reflect in the icy ripples below. The detaiks in the glacier are so well defined, the overall is quite a fantastic catch

Wow! This looks great in a strange way. I mean it looks almost from a different world, which to me it is. The reflections are pretty from the red sky. I would love to visit Alaska someday.

Wow Pat, this is absolutely spectacular sunset on the glacier with vivid orange colors so nicely contrasting with the white ice and snow.
The reflections are so nice to view.
Pat, thank you for sharing.

Very nice capture of the beauty of the sunset over the magnificent glaciers and the icy water. The reflection of the colors into the water is beautiful.
