This is beautiful, Genny. Classic Alaska. Love the foreground with the dwarf birch and willow beginning their autumn golden glow, the rain sprinkled pond, the diagonals of the distant hills and mountains. The color is spot on natural. The larger image seemingly puts me right there, immersed in the cool dampness and smells of the earth. Wonderful image in my opinion.

I was merely there, a small, puny, awestruck man,
praising Almighty God, with camera in hand.
Make a few images, well.

Nice job finding a vantage point to get the pond in the image, Genny. The early fall color is nice, as is the atmosphere. Just the right amount of sky for the image.

Genny,
I've only been to Alaska once (Denali and Katmai,) but can't help but agree with Vance - classic Alaska. My big impression is understanding totally when you wrote, "... I was limited on where I could get." ;-) It looks thick, impossible to pass and if it weren't late August, most certainly swarms of mosquitos.
Even with those thoughts, this is still tranquil and nicely photographed. Even the drops of rain add an important element.
No nits or suggestions.
Lon

To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy. -Henri Cartier-Bresson

The larger image is a must. I like the comp because it gives a feel of the vastness of Alaska. The thing that always kept coming back to me during the time we had in Alaska was how big and wild it felt. Nice capture.
