Fall in Alaska is amazing. Not only do the trees put on a color display, but the shrubs in the taiga and the smaller herbs in the tundra change color too.

The lighting and subtle shadows look so inviting. Nice balance in the FG too. The daark shadow "hole " inthe bootom R a little distracting, but the small er one to the left of it helps balance it out. Impressive view.

Just lovely, Tom. I really like the trees to offer some perspective. This place looks HUGE.

Every day in Alaska is amazing! Really splendid colors here. It might be just a little easier to work into the picture from the bottom if you cropped to just above the two very dark shadow spots. And what I really like is the way I can travel into this scene through your photograph. Well done.

The colors with the shadows really make this an incredible image Tom. I like the blue soft sky to. This is fantastic!

Hi Tom,

Excellent capture. The oranges in the mid ground seem a little strong, but I love the way you handled the shadow detail and composition.

Wonderful color in this. And the light shows it all off so well.
