Autumn colors decorating the mountains and a fresh snow fall frosting the peaks.  Taken about 41 miles from Valdez, Alaska on the Richardson Highway.

Gary, the fall foliage lights this scene up very nicely. I like the overall balance to the image and the river inclusion and placement is perfect. Heck, those clouds & peaks aren't too bad either.....sad

Wow! This is really nice Gary. Love the bright fall colors, the mountain and clouds are great. The overall balance of the composition is nice with the river running across, the placement of mountain. All good from my perspective. I could see this all the way across a big office wall....

The yellows and greens sure pop, Gary.  Makes for a great, colorful scene with the rugged peaks, the blue sky and the clouds building in.

Nice fall colors with the clouds and snow making for a nice daytime image.  The only nit to me may be the tree poking into the sky on the left edge.

Oh, what a gorgeous composition.  I love the way we can enjoy the peaks rising above the river, as well as follow the valley into the distance on the left.
