WOWEE!! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING, GARY! Is this near your office too? LOL! (Probably is.) Is this stitched, or a true panorama? Simply gorgeous!

Why thank you, Janelle! Actually my office is at the base of the mountains that you're looking at in this photo, which is about 3 miles as the seagull flies :-) This photo is just cropped. The original has a lot more sky and water but they didn't add to the picture so I chopped it down to put the focus on the mirror image.

Karen, Thank you! I got lucky on the timing for this. The tide was high and at ebb when I drove by here and the air was absolutely still, which is fairly unusual on a sunny day in the winter.

Gary... As usual words fail to describe this scene - no wonder 'they' say that 'a picture paints a thousand words'!! Just beautifully seen, taken and presented...AS USUAL - and great title! No need to tell you to keep up the great work - your postings are ALWAYS great!! All the best in the contest Gary, and kind regards... Carolyn & Phil Connolly

Wow! Thank you all for your very genorous comments! Guess I must have done the right thing with this one! I have a few others that I took at the same time from different angles looking at different parts of the valley, but with the same type of reflections. I might post another one, but I don't want to ruin a good thing by oversaturating :-) Lem; I used the only camera I have, my Sony DSC-F707, and the exposure info is: f8.0, 1/640, no filters, no zoom. Thank you for your comment!

Cees; Thank you very much! I sure wish you were a betterphoto judge :-) Damian; Wow! Knighted! I've never been knighted before...do I get some sort of crest and an official stamp or something? Thanks! :-) Carol; Thank you! Your opinion means a lot to me! David; I really appreciate your comment! Thanks! Dolores; Wow! Boyfriend of the Queen of Photography on top of being knighted! Makes me feel like Royalty :-) I suppose this means I'll be expected to maintain your extremely high standards....hmmm...I'm not so sure I'm up to that yet... Thank you so much for your very kind comment!

Pat; Looks like you were typing at the same time I was. I really appreciate your comment as conveying a sense of "being there" is what I strive for most. It's very difficult to do with the limitation of the small entry format. Thats why I like the panoramas so much. It allows one to 'turn their head' and see more of the scene like you can when you're standing there.

It took me forever to get to the bottom of these posts to add my own. Not sure what else to add; this is yet another stunning shot from you, Gary. ... By the way, we just booked an Alaskan cruise on Princess for late May! I'm so excited! I'd like to e-mail you before then to get some advice and tips from a master Alaskan photographer. :-)

Thank you very much, Patricia! I'd be glad to help out as much as I can. For starts, you picked the right time for a water visit. The end of May and first week of June are the most likely times to have multiple sunny days on the Coast. Drop me an email with your tour stops and I'll see if I can help you out.

Oh, my! I couldn’t reach the bottom of those posts ;-). I hope I’m not too late with my note? But it’s really hard to find the good time with three kids running around. I always enjoy looking at your beautiful photos of Alaska, Gary! And the more I look at them, the more I wonder how beautiful those places must be. I really like your work, it’s simply amazing. Many congratulations on making the finals with your great “Pure Symmetry”, Gary! Monika

There's no such thing as too late, Monika! I sincerely appreciate your comments any time they get there :-) Believe me, these places are far more beautiful than I am capable of portraying. If I could shoot in true 3D and everyone had virtual viewers I maybe could come close, but I'm afraid that technology is still out of reach for most of us!
