WOW! What a sky. the colors are just stunning. The patterns of the clouds, the mountain and shoreline silhouettes and, the colorful reflection on the water really draws the viewer in to the scene. Great work with low light. Beautiful.

You captured indeed a dramatic situation. The flaming sky and its reflection in the water between the dark clouds and the silhouettes in the foreground is awesome. The photo is perfectly focused and exposed. Light and colors are realistic. The composition is excellently balanced and framed.

Serendipity. Beautiful shot of this scene. Glad this is a sunset with all that red. I like the contrast between the softness of the sky and the focused building silhouettes in the foreground. The two-tone effect is powerful.

Wow Pat, a very intense and dramatic orange sunset with a beautiful glow on the water.
I can just make out the silhouetted buildings in the foreground of Anchorage.
Wonderful cloud effect with the sun glory showing through. Just wonderful!

Wow I really thought that you have enhanced the color but your notes don't indicate such an edit. What a beautiful skyline the richness reflected in the water - one can sit back and forget about the stresses of the world.

Yes, beautiful and gorgeous and dramatic sunset! Darker image than usual allows me to focus on the sky. The reflections in the water are nice touch! Golden ratio of all the components! Pleasure to view and review!

Stunning photograph. Your environment compliments everything you do with your camea. I suppose in Alaska, the atomosphere is very clean so long distance is a more viable prospect. you are very lucky.
